I'm selling my Dream Bike to The Pro's Closet. How much can I get?

It seems like the Pro's Closet is like Gamestop for bikes. You can find some decent deals when buying used, but when you go back to trade anything in you will almost always be dissappointed with what they offer you. The way I think of it, when you go to trade anything in to a company, they will almost always be getting the better end of the deal.

I received an offer from TPC on my 2019 Full Dura Ace Cannondale SuperSix (with about 150 miles on it) which was so low that I decided instead to give it away to a kid down the street who was in love with it. I figure I'll feel much better about giving it to an aspiring young rider than I will be getting ripped off by TPC.

I laughed so hard when the orange valve stems got removed! Most relatable thing; YOU AINT GETTING THESE😂😂

They murdered you with that trade in offer. From $5900 to $3150 in 6 months is crazy and that frame scuff can be fixed very easily. FOMO is insane with people paying way over value on new and used bikes. eMTB's cost more than used cars now.

Here's my take on TPC, what they are selling you is convenience and assurance - an easy way to sell a bike you no longer want or need that has a guaranteed payout. It is up to the individual if they want to pay for the convenience TPC offers or go the 'sell it yourself' route, which includes: listing the bike, answer queries and questions, send more photos, deal with either a meet up or shipping, hoping the form of payment goes through. It is similar to the do you trade in your old car or sell it yourself, you will likely get more money if you sell it yourself (BTW - always negotiate for the car you are buying first, don't include the trade in as part of the deal - if the salesperson asks, just state you are not sure. After you agree on the new car, then negotiate on the trade in).  OK enough car talk. Simply put the folks at TPC have to make money off the deal to make it worth their while, they have bills to pay too as they are running a business and not a 501(c) 3. Unfortunately or fortunately for the buying consumer, the state of bike industry with the overstock of new bikes and low demand make used bikes not worth as much, it is purely economics.   Regarding the Rallon, I rode one last year in Durango and was really impressed with it. If I needed an enduro bike, it would be on my short list for sure.

Well usually now we see buy, sell, buy, sell, buy, sell. On Evan's channel But I'm glad he made this video a informal one just like his other dozen videos!

Been looking at the orbea full sus so intrigued to see reasons behind selling it

I’m fairly certain you would have sold it for $4k just posting it’s for sale with your pinkbike listing link in the description. Either way, cheers man, onto the next bike!

So, you basically rented the bike for roughly $400 per month.

Just for an experiment, I did a brand new build took the 3 photos and all custom parts got an offer from TPC and made it clear it had 4 rides. Their offer was 2500 lower than what I paid and I got a massive deal on it new. It had no scratches, heck the chain ring and cassette didn't even have wear on it yet. I rode it for a year, sold it on Pinkbike for $1,000 more than the offer TPC offered me. They totally low ball then when they offer to buy it, then sell it for about 2k more. If you want to sell fast and have disposable income, go for it. I can't imagine now, I hear they are flooded with post covid inventory as is the used market. I'm sure they are offering way less now. Tough time to sell used, considering many brands are offering 20-30% off brand new. Glad it worked out for you man.

I have those exact grips in the same colour. I love them!! 🇨🇦

TPC lowballed the heck out of me. Bike overage or not, I'd rather been told they were uninterested in buying mine. Was even going to trade up and buy from them.

I think it's the perfect time to buy a Levo SL for 16K$ in a color I don't really like, a motor that is just a tiny bit too weak, a battery thats is somewhat ok if I only ride it with 75%Power. I mean obiously I would need a extender and another carbon 29 wheel since I don't like riding Mullet. What a time to be alive 😅

that bike would and should sell for more than 3150 IMO. But there is a time and a place i suppose- not everyone is comfortable shipping/taking risk with PinkBike.

Dialed..... keep it up. When we going to see another live stream? Maybe just a one or two hr long discussion?

Sick rallon man, I haven't seen the vid yet, I'm still on the ads, but I only can be good

Good deal overall. Would have taken the instore credit for a few extra hundred towards your next project.

They offered me 1600 on my season old trek slash with performance elite suspension and gx axs the bike had literally zero marks on it and a brand new wheelset to sell. I ended up reverting it to stock and selling it on Facebook for 600 more then the pros closet offered for the upgrade version. Sure its an alloy bike but putting about 2 grand into suspension and more into drivetrain and being less then a season old and only getting 1600 is insane.

It would be awesome if I see a bike like that in Big Brothers Pawn.

I love that we dry off our bikes the same way 😂 gotta bounce all that water away first
