Q: How much is my tricycle worth?
Q: How much is my tricycle worth?
A: We gladly will give valuation estimates to customers who have purchased our online tricycle price guide. We under no circumstances will give values, estimates or appraisals of value to anyone who has not purchased our guide.
Q: Why do I have to buy the price guide?
A: Some days we receive in excess of a dozen requests for valuations. While we’d love to do nothing but chat about tricycles all day long, our time is precious, as we suspect, is yours. Most requests for values come from individuals wishing to sell their tricycles, many of them on eBay. We feel that $5 is a fair price for our expertise and time, especially when considering that if you plan on selling your trike, you plan to make much more than $5.
We used to give free estimates of value, but due to unscrupulous sellers on eBay who would name drop Tricyclefetish.com in their listings and cite us as a source for a value, but basically lie to buyers about our valuations, we no longer do so for free.
Why? Because when sellers do this, we then get emails from prospective buyers asking whether the price we gave was legit (many times it is/was not the correct price). If you see a price quoted with Tricyclefetish.com or our Online Tricycle Price Guide as a source, and are curious about the voracity of the person selling the tricycle, email us with the price quoted and we’ll let you know if the seller is being honest.
