What do you estimate these bikes to be worth?

[MartyBikey]

Simple really.
I am interested in purchasing one or more of the below and want to gauge how much they are worth now. And how much they could be worth after some TLC or upgrades.
Many thanks

2007 Specialized Epic
???? Whyte 801
2011Cannondale Trail SL2
2010 Marin Palisades

About £50-100 each. They are mostly fairly low spec and not desirable to collectors, so only of interest as utility/ commuter bikes.

Epic might go a bit more, but 26 " full suspension isn't really exciting anyone these days

Appreciate the honest opinion. Thanks

A bike in decent working order can fetch £200.
But any of these bikes in a poor state will cost more to fix than they are worth.

I would say all less than £80. At this price the cost of what it would take to get it working is more important than the details of the spec. A couple of worn out parts and the total cost to you doubles, compared to something that's ready to ride and needs nothing more than adjustments. You can't tell that from the photos, but they all look like they have plenty of wear. The good news is that this kind of bike is dirt cheap nowadays - there is just no 2nd hand demand for 26" MTBs anymore which means even very capable and higher end specced bikes will sell for very little. But if you're looking to buy one up cheap and turn a profit by fixing it up, your chances are not at all good as there's a ceiling to what you can sell any 26er for.
