Selling a bike advice

In need to sell a 29er orbea mtb, which is fairly new and in perfect condition, and for some reason doubt gumtree will do it for me, are there any official/trusted sites for bikes online to sell on?
Or is it possible to sell on forums here somewhere? Because i'm able to deliver in all of london.

Any advice!

Is there price checks for certain bikes, this bike was £480, and in almost new condition and perfect really, reckon i'd sell for £400? Im unsure how much value bikes lose over time

In my experience they lose a lot more than that. I bought my last bike for a £300 loss for the owner on a £450 bike. Another one was a £500 carrera I got for a friend and the owner dropped that to £160.

Christ, I only had it for 3 months, surely I can't lose this much, I'm much better off keeping it if I cant get around 380 then lol

if you still have a transferable(?) guarantee that will be good for frame/bb/headset;
as a purchaser : cleanliness of drive train + rims/tyres. (which you can all show in photos)

(would be interesting to know how depreciation compares to cars 20/30/50 1st/2nd/3rd)

Uhm, it has lifetime warranty, still have original receipt and all is in tip top shape and clean as hell lol
