Guys this is not a how much is my ... worth post
A good friend of mine who is more cycling mad than I am but never got into MTB and works at a bike recycling place just messaged me and said look what's come in I am buying it.
The pic was of a Pro-Flex Animal, looks reasonably original guessing 1998 is are they, anyway I thought that was great until he told me the price!! Wait for it...
Assuming that this was donated to them as they don't buy and sell bikes to my knowledge £250!!! I thought that was outrageous! Do they actually sell for that?
I have no idea of course what state the shocks and pivots are in or the drivetrain etc but when you consider what the bike is, it's age, how they acquired it and that he works there I think they are taking the piss!!
I'd like some opinions please as to whether I have over reacted and if he is getting the deal of the century or if in fact I'm right.
