    I have the nimbus trials '(slightly different from this one, last years
    model i believe)' (http://tinyurl.com/dn6w9) and have just upgraded. I
    have found a local buyer who is interested in it and was wondering what
    you think it is worth and who much you would pay for it. i have no pics
    at the moment but it is in pretty good condition apart from the severly
    bent cranks (which i have told him new ones are available etc).

    It has seen quite alot but in the last three or so months has been only
    subject to light riding due to the fact i did not want to break it,
    because it was all i had. iPurchased it in March last year, the seat
    has been altered and cut down a bit for SIF but that is about it.

    Thanks for your help,

    Tom

    (i am thinking about $150? i am not fussy though, just happy to get
    someone else into unicycling)

    Genreally for something in good condition half original price is
    reasonable, you might have to knock off a little for the wrecked
    cranks, or buy and fit new ones (this makes it more likely to sell,
    regardless of price people are less keen to buy stuff that needs to be
    messed around with before it's good to go)

    is it the cranks or the hub? cause if its the hub it won't matter if he
    buys new cranks, it will still be bent.

    thanks for the feedback. yeah i am not sure i think the hub may be
    twisted a little, nothing major. I have told him that is probably wont
    last long and he is better to buy a new one, but he really really wants
    it and doesn't seem to notice.

    Well, if he is young then he might be too stupid/inexpereinced to
    understand that bent cranks mean bad ride and a considerable amount of
    fuss for someone who is not seasoned in unicycle maintenance.

    Maybe he just wants a uni so bad that he completely ignores all the
    warnings that you give him and when he breaks the cranks he'll be very
    much upset.

    I don't know, actually.

    well i have showed him the cranks and he has ridden it before. i told
    him where to get new cranks and said i could arrange it. yet it is his
    mother that is edging on the purchase. she really really wants it :s

    i think because it is nice and cheap

    Hmm, just looked up $150 AU. That's a cheap price. Plus, you'll get a
    riding buddy, so maybe you should be paying him.

    hmm, true. yet he is about a 40 minute drive away, which is pricey on
    the petrol. Also he is only a little boy :s yet enthusiastic to boot!

    careful is a great idea*
