How much is this Titus worth?
Just picked up this titus racer x off of a pretty sketchy dude, and I've cleaned it up some. However, I cannot identify the model for the life of me. Also I can't post pictures till I've made ten posts so I can probably dm pics. Someone please help!

Racer X, what's the serial number? First two should be the year.

I used to have a 29er Racer-X and loved that bike. They are fast!

Gonna need a lot more details.

If you’ve already bought it, what’s the point of asking about its market value?

Sketchy & cheap means you have probably supported the bike stealing / flipping biz

Why does it have to be worth anything other than just a bike you like to ride.

From another place he posted this, he bought it in hopes of flipping it for a profit.
Mid 2000s 26” XC bike with unknown owner and maintenance… ain’t worth much.

Looks like it has some upgrades, but is still an older ride. Probably worth about a grand but too many on the market in the 500 range.

Why would you buy a bike off a sketchy dude? I never understand these threads of "should I trust this guy or webstore" when they clearly have some heavy doubt or even know it is a sketchy. Don't buy from sketchy people, if they are putting off the whiffs of sketchiness and not because of their crazy mountain biking adventures then I probably would move on. I don't want to have a feeling of being ripped off or buying a stolen bike or something along those lines. Too many stolen bikes in this world let's end our role in it by not buying from these sketch balls and doing our best to help lessen their market. A lot of folks just don't know or think about it, a known quality brand for cheap prices is hard to pass up but if they know well I am probably purchasing a pilfered pedal powered piece they might reconsider their choices or make more informed choices.
To the OP if you want help you gotta give us something. I have a thing what is this thing, doesn't really help. Pictures are worth a thousand words (assuming we can make anything out in these pictures) and any identifying info would be handy.

In case anyone is interested, the OP also asked this here:
https://www.mtbr.com/threads/how-muc...worth.1197915/
Good discussion and info there (from both the OP and contributors).

Thanks for the link. No mention of what 'Tristan' paid for them, but it looks like he made a bad investment. I pulled a Swirchblade out of a free pile from a guy cleaning his garage recently. Nice bike, but all I could get out of it was $350. May have made more parting it out, but I don't usually go that way. Two bikes?

This is assuming the serial numbers don’t pop up as stolen.
