Hello to all, first nervy post and all that, but I'm looking for some advice.
I've a rare Ltd Ed Aeroptrope Lotus MTB and at some point in the not too distant will be putting it up for sale, but having not really been involved in any kind of cycling community for a long long time I didn't really know where to start (was directed to here from bikeradar)
Ironically I thought simply sticking it on e-bay wouldn't be a good idea as any collector type interested would have to luckily chance upon it whilst browsing, but having been here for a little bit I see there's some beady eyes trained on e-bay for this kind of thing anyway, but any advice would be greatly received..
Secondly I hunted around when I first got it for some indication of value for insurance purposes but again hit a blank as there's been so few come up for sale in the past by the sounds. (to cover how I go it, it was presented to my dad as a gift, and he subsequently gave it to me)
If anyone knows anything, anyone or has any info I'd be very grateful
When I first got it, I did get in touch with the guy who developed it, but he had no idea on value either as he hadn't seen one for sale for so long, but it did mean I got to know what they went for new
As I say any info would be greatfully received, and I'll get some photos up soon if anyone wants to see it and a link to aerotropes site (can't post them on 1st post by the looks)
