I would consider the condition of the bike, service history, brand name, quality of components, location. Also the seller is a big thing. When talking to a seller I want to see they know what the bike is or at least they are genuine about it (obviously some people are selling for relatives that have passed or moved away or don't know a ton about bikes) however I do like a good passionate seller who cared for the bike. Also would love to know serial number to confirm it is real or at least not stolen.

A cheap generic carbon bike or a fake bike (a cheap knockoff frame with stickers from a real bike brand or some of the cheap online brands) isn't worth much compared to a known quantity.
