I get a lot of requests concerning "what is my Taylor worth" or "what should I sell my Taylor for?" - and as a means of answering this question, I am creating a sort of rough pricing guide, by collecting recent sale prices of Taylor of various models. To this end, if you've purchased a Taylor in the last several years, I'd love to hear from you the model, decade of production, general condition of the frame/bicycle, and purchase price and year, as well as anything that you think might have made it worth more or less than a standard good condition Taylor of the same model. Paint condition is noted beyond original or respray only if it differs from the overall evaluation of the frame/bicycle. General condition is ranked as follows: pristine (NOS or very like it. NOS will be noted) > excellent > very good > good > fair > poor > bad. If you purchased your Taylor off ebay, it's probably here already. Owner's names, as always, will be kept confidential, as will the serial #s and exact production years of the frames/cycles referenced. If you can contribute to this project, please do contact me
This isn't meant as an absolute "Your Jack Taylor is worth $___" page, but instead as a means by which people can do some sort of guessing around what kind of price they should ask or pay. There are a lot of variables that determine price, many of which cannot effectively be quantified. Your Taylor may go for more, or less. That being said, here's the information so far:
