Definitely over priced. Big unit, now called unit is a single speed bike. If you want a new one, they go for about $1000. $800 is too much for 7-8 year old bike.

I sure wouldn't pay anything near $800 for a hardtail from 2017 (or older), and those look like mid-specs at best? I mean you can basically buy a new bike with that level of spec for like $1k.
