I`m suggesting that someone with good eyes look at the neck of the bike in post #1 and compare the two

God I love all Facebook experts popped up in here, can’t sell a Twinkie to save your soul but shovel prices are not down in any manner unless it’s hotter than the ex when the child support check is late. The clown with $1000- 1500 crack is pure comedy, few of us in here wheel & deal with these things daily on both coasts and a few offshore friends. That bike sitting is about $3500 if the papers in order, I’ve been traveling the country for several week’s deliberately shopping marketplace for shovel goods. While prices are all over the place even complete parts pile shovels with a title are bringing $3000 or more and I’ve been seeing some sorry sh*t for that money.

It’s worth exactly what a real in person buyer will pay for it. Could be $100 or $10000 depending on the buyer purpose

Far from it
PT Barnum said it best, there's one born every minute
Nothing unique about that bike aside from it being butchered and neglected over the years with a motor that we have to assume, after sitting for ten yrs will be the same on the inside as the outside looks
One would have to be a fool to pay for a rolling basket they'd have to trailer for the same money they could buy a runner for and drive it home and not have to invest nowhere near what that one would require
Doesn't make any sense at all.

OP does it kick over. It's a major factor in determining the price.
