1st and 2d Gen. Yeti 575s
I have two sm. Yeti 575. One is 1st gen., and the other is 2d gen. 26" wheels. I also have an XS Intense 5.5. My kids have grown out of all these bikes. I'd like to sell and trade up to a nice 27.5" frame bike. (Yeti, Intense, Turner, Ibis) This is that I'm not sure whether these Yetis have any value, or what they might be worth, and I don't know whether it is best to bring them to a swap, try to sell them, keep them for guests, etc. Here are some pics.
Any thoughts?
1) 2d Gen.
1st Gen.:

I cannot offer any advice other then I think they are pretty cool looking. Yeti has a great following so might be able to get more because of that? On a plus note used bikes are hot hot hot right now, at least near me.

Rubes and college kids are your target audience. I sold my second gen a couple of years ago for $500 (I think).

Thanks. At a swap, I might be able to sell them both, and pick up a nice roadie.

Good morning! I'm keeping an eye out for a bike for my neighbors kid. One of these small Yetis would be perfect. He's 11 years old, maybe just at 5 feet tall. His single mom doesn't have a ton of cash to spend. Are you close to Teton Valley Idaho at all? Make us a deal to keep an avid kid on a bike that fits him?

If you get desperate, I'd pay a few hundred for one, shipped to VA.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

Jan’s swap and they’ll go quick. Actually I think it’s white pine.

I think that's the best idea. My kids grew up in the Young Riders program, so it seems only fair

That’s great, HMS, hope this works out!

I think a trade in towards a new bike might be the best bang for the buck depending on the shops near you.
Shops can get top dollar for a sub-$1k full squish.

So did you sell these yet? Would you be open to my offer?

I'm just exploring options. Not for sale yet. I'll let you know

old bikes get to a certian age and stop bleeding value, the figure i hear thrown around always seems to be 500$, so i asked more the 1st year no sale, in its 2nd swap I got 500$ for a 14 yr old bike, the owner of the LBS said she thot i did pretty good really
IME basicly its the owner of the LBS setting the prices when he looks at it, grimaces and sez ... 500$Lee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know
