Price check on used bike?
Hey guys,
I'm thinking of buying a used 2016 Opus Allegro 2.0. It's been upgraded with rs505 hydraulic brakes (the last-gen 105 hydraulic groupset), alongside a 6800 rear mech (last-gen ultegra) and a dura-ace FC-9000 crankset. Frame and fork are both carbon and the bike is in great condition (I can't post photos yet but it looks new). Tyres are GP 5000s and set up tubeless.
The asking price is $1450 USD. I guess I'm a bit hesitant since it's a little above my budget, and the last-gen components. I already talked the guy down to $1450 so I feel like it's a bit of bad faith negotiating more. I'm prepared to walk away, just figured I'd ask here first.
Thanks!

Give the seller your contact info and that you are interested, but at a bit lower price. Tell the seller that if the bike will not sell at his listed price and he doesn't want to sit on it forever, you would be a buyer at a specific price, and communicate your price to him. I have had this work a few times in the past.
