Where is the best place to sell a bike in the UK?

Cyclesite — flat listing fees from £10.99, automatic stolen-bike verification on every listing, and an audience of serious cyclists. eBay has reach but takes 12.8% plus fees. Facebook Marketplace is free but offers no buyer protection and attracts lowballers.

How much is my bike worth?

Use Cyclesite's free valuation tool at cyclesite.co.uk/bike-valuation for an instant estimate based on real UK sold prices. As a rough guide: 1-year-old bikes sell for 65-75% of new price, 3-year-old bikes for 50-65%, and 5+ year old bikes for 35-50%.

What photos do I need to sell a bike?

Six essential photos: drive side full bike (most important), non-drive side, front end close-up, drivetrain close-up, any damage or wear, and the serial number. Use natural daylight, landscape orientation, and a plain background.

Selling a bike well takes preparation. The difference between one that sells in two days and one that lingers for months comes down to accurate pricing, good photos, and a description that answers real questions. Give it a thorough clean — thirty minutes of cleaning can add fifty to a hundred pounds to your sale price. Price using real sold data, not what you paid. This guide covers depreciation rates by age, the six essential photos, how to write a listing, platform comparison (Cyclesite flat listing fees vs eBay 12.8% fees vs Facebook Marketplace), and how to stay safe meeting buyers.
