    Unfortunately not as much as you might like, depreciation on bikes is massive. If you got €650 you would be doing very well. Stick it up but if no-one bites you may be best keeping it.

    If the bike is genuinely unused and unmarked you might get a price closer to list.

    edit: good idea Caroline!

    i think that it is your right to return if its not suitable. If you read their policy that might have a clause for credit notes instead of cash returns.

    I wish i had the money. I would buy it of ya if I did. Lovely bike.

    No. You can't return something on the basis that you're skint.

    From here.

    If you are not satisfied with the quality of goods or services you can:

    * Return the goods to the supplier who sold it to you (you should not return the goods to the manufacturer)
    * Act as soon as you can – a delay can indicate that you have accepted faulty goods or services
    * Do not attempt to repair the item yourself or give it to anyone else to repair it
    * Make sure that you have a proof of purchase (a receipt, cheque stub, credit card statement or invoice)

    You have no grounds for redress if

    * You were told about the defect before you bought the item (for example, if the goods were marked 'shopsoiled')
    * You examined the item before you bought it and should have seen the defect
    * You bought the item knowing that it wasn’t fit for what you wanted it to do
    * You broke or damaged the product
    * You made a mistake when buying the item (for example, if you bought an item of clothing thinking it was black when it is actually navy)
    * You change your mind

    My emphasis.

    Unless they have a policy that allows it... Wiggle allows Christmas returns up to the end of January for example even though legally they need only accept them for 7 days (they only need to accept them at all because they are distance sellers, you don't have a legal right to return stuff to a normal shop.)

    Give them a call, worth a shot- maybe even suggest a percentage restocking fee if they aren't keen.

    @Lumen- on the price I think I am being realistic, even if it is 100% new I think he is going to have to take a hit selling it second-hand... doesn't matter what he paid for it, the hit will have to be on a percentage of what it is retailing for right now. Do you honestly think he will get close to what CSS are selling it at? No point getting his hopes up. I'm suggesting 20% off which is not unreasonable.

    There are warranty issues on buying not from a shop any purchaser would need to take into consideration and they would want a discount based on this. So my view on it is if he is looking at €650 he needs to ask himself "would I keep this bike if I'm only getting €650 for it."

    It does seem good spec and value for a bike sold at that price in an Irish shop mind you, so maybe he will be lucky.

    Fair enough.

    Hmmm, I'm definitely not prepared to let it go for anywhere near €650. A €250 loss on a 5 week old unused bike seems a little steep. I'll stick it up on adverts and see what happens. I have the receipt/invoice/warranty info so it's exactly the same as buying from css except there's no waiting for stock to arrive from Germany etc, etc. Anyway, cheers for the opinions. Keep an eye out on adverts!

    read Blorgs post a few up ^. No one (in their right mind) is going to pay you anywhere near retail for it, you will be doing very well getting €650 tbh
    you dont offer a warranty, you wont be doing a post buy tune up...the reciept wont be in their name, theres no comeback.
    and no Im not in the market for it either :p

    Surely the warranty on the bike goes by the same rules of any warranty sold with a product. The warranty belongs to the product not the customer. For example a new car sold with a 3 year warranty could have 20 owners it would still be covered under warranty for the 20th customer.

    Besides if it has a warranty or not, once you have the receipt for it, should it suffer a defect as a result of a manufacturing fault you're still protected by your rights as a consumer.

    Nice bike all the same. Hope you get what you're looking for it. Why not ask cyclesuperstore if they can do anything for you. What can they say, "no".

    No, warranties are discretionary guarantees provided by manufacturers that go above and beyond your statutory rights. Most manufacturers offer lifetime on the frame, to the original owner only. "Original owner only" is pretty universal in the bike industry.

    With regard to your statutory rights, you have no contract with the manufacturer and they have no obligation whatsoever to you. Neither does the original shop. Your contract is with the guy you bought the bike off... and in a private sale your rights are very limited compared to buying from a shop.

    I bought a 18" CUBE LTD Comp Black at the start of Dec but due to a sudden change in my financial situation, I think I'm going to have to sell it. I haven't even cycled it yet! I bought it for €899 in cyclesuperstore in Dec along with some Altura Weatherproof trousers and Altura Weatherproof Jacket. I see the bike now retails for €809 in cyclesuperstore. How much do you think I'll get for it on adverts.ie? I've worn the trousers twice walking into work but haven't worn the jacket. I am obviously hoping to recoup as much as I can so do you think I would get?

    http://www.cyclesuperstore.ie/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=201&idproduct=33488 - in black

    Have a look at their returns policy http://www.cyclesuperstore.ie/shop/pc/viewContent.asp?idpage=13

    You may qualify for a refund if you bought the items for a friend or family member. It's worth a try. Especially if you're a regular customer.

    650 is only 160 less than what you would buy new so even though it is a 250 loss for you its only 160 saving on someone buying new( based on a selling price of 809 in your link)

    Christmas Gift Exchange Policy.
    No worries no hassle exchange policy on gifts purchased by friends or family. Simply return the goods by 30th January in their original packaging and we will credit you for the full value of the goods paid.Exceptions occur for sale or Clearance items.

    I think that is clear enough, return it to CSS and get your money (or a credit) back. They aren't going to care if you bought it as a gift or not, how are they going to know. If they ask say you did! If they only give you vouchers rather than a cash refund you will get more money selling the vouchers than you would the bike (you will still have to take a hit on the vouchers, but maybe only 10% on what you paid, less if you get lucky.)
