He's asking way more than the bike is worth, but its NADA (and KBB, for that matter) price is within my anticipated budget.
I've got a question... how much do aftermarket accessories REALLY increase the value of a 10 year old bike? Here's the ad, maybe you can tell me if his asking price is reasonable.

in my opinion aftermarket parts only increase the value if those are the aftermarket parts you want, if thy are not the aftermarket parts you want or really care for i would say it makes to bike no more valuable to you. something is only worth what you are willing to pay for it. something may be worth a lot more to me than it is to you..
but you do got to figure the guy did spend a little money on those parts and would like to get some of that back. but i think that answer really depends o the person buying the bike.. so i guess the answer would be how much extra are you willing because it has those parts on it. are those parts worth paying a little more for the bike to you!!
