Yep, those are three bikes alright.
Looks like you got cut off before completing the question.

Yeah I also think that $_________ is a GREAT price!

Hey, isn't this false advertising? I think the OP should be forced to give his bikes away for free...

Um.. wow. Okay, well even a donkey would need to know what your asking price is before that donkey would know if you're "in the ballpark".

If I do that then it's like playing poker and showing everyone your hand. What fun would that be.

Are you asking for "bids"? Your question was,"am I in the ballpark?" Maybe e-bay would get better results.

well I put my offer in but apparently it was rejected. . The Primo was probably in the mid 2Ks when u got it, but the parts are probably dated, so I think 50% or more on that one is a good mark?

Are you in the ballpark? I kind of think you have to name a price before you can be told if you're in the ballpark. Do what I did, put a price on the bikes on here, see if there's any interest. When no one responds, then you know you've got them listed too high, so you just end up holding onto them.

If your asking for price then I would say definetly 900 or less. No I'm not joking either.

Especially for the demo the bike has low end component and they are all old, so I know if I were to actually buy the bike I would pay 900 for the demo, 7-800 for the bullit, and around 6 for the Kona. Maybe less depending on the condition, abuse, and how much maintenace it needs. I'm a bike mechanic so I'm sure i can find tons of things wrong with especially since they are all old bikes.

It would help if you could post pictures also.

2004 Kona Dawg Primo med 18": race face bar, specialized stem, sram 9.0 8spd grip shift, Manitou minute 3 air, fox float RL w/AVA, hayes 6", maxxis, wtb wheels,

Your asking price would be the 1st you'd need to post if you want to know if you are in a ballpark...and Pics would be nice too so we can see the condition of the bikes....just b/c the seller says they are in excellent condition doesn't really hold weight(biased opinion) if you(or had someone do it) stripped down the Bullit to raw then it's worth even less...than if it's factory Raw

Used bikes aren't going for what you put into them...these days....as StevieB said...he sold 2 bikes way less then what we thought they were really worth...I did too...
