The comments are a hoot. It's crazy how many people think that the bike's previous ownership somehow strips it of actual value. A quick troll of Ebay completed auctions ought to provide a good estimate of it's market value. If I were Ebaying that bike, I would mention Floyd as a previous owner since there is a possibility that someone might find value in that over and above the actual market value of the bike bits.
The dude trying to get $6k is as crazy as those that say the bike isn't worth the $5 he paid for it.
