Thats the answer. Anything is only worth what someone will pay. My Ten is worth �10k to me, but I doubt I'd find anyone to offer more than �3k for it.....

Be aware of what's under the dirt - is it dirt, or has he coated the bike in ACF50 and left it ? could be a minter or a minger under the muck.

Prices change depending on where you are, demand etc, so I would suggest you get your mate to go down the dealers and see what the bike is worth in a trade in, that would make a great starting point.

Or.. look here -> http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=18344

You can find new bikes for around the �5k mark sometimes, pre-registered, ex-demo etc. just remember that the first 'free' service won't be free anywhere but the supplying dealer.

Good luck.
