What do you think this frame is worth?

I'm looking to buy a new rockhopper at some point, I'm thinking my old frame might fetch some pennies.

It's the 2013 rockhopper comp, black.

Any ideas

    As a frame not a lot, even if you had a load of secondhand parts in the shed to build it up.

    You could buy the whole bike for about £200-250.

    The problem is it's a low end bike so there are lots of them about secondhand, people buy them, run them around for a year or two then leave them sitting in the shed as they don't have a lot of value.
    Now where's that "Get Out of Crash Free Card"

    I was worried this might be the case. Oh and I should add it is xl, not sure if that niche size works more or less in my favour

    Not a lot is the simple answer, it's not much better than a Carrera frame from Halfords, the simple answer on an auction is one bid higher than the second highest bidder but anything more than £50 and I wouldn't bother, it's not like decent hardtail frames are hard to find.
