I'm looking to sell my OCC Schwinn but while I was doing some pricing research I came across this. Can anyone confirm that my bike is really this special? And what about the glitter seat?

If indeed it is how much of it's value was killed by the paint job the previous owner had done?

I'm attempting to get an honest estimate of what I should ask for this bike. I was thinking $100 for the bike, $150 for the engine, $20 for the motor mount, $20 for the bikeberry sound dampeners, $10 for the upgraded fuel cut off switch and brass filter, $20 for the ape hangers, and $10 for the extra innertube I have for the rear tire. Anyone who has put one of these together would agree that $100 for assembly is pretty reasonable. I know that equals $430 but I was looking to get $400 for the whole sha-bang.

Any input is appreciated. I got a great deal on this bike ($300 un-assembled with an extra engine) and wouldn't have a problem paying it forward, but I don't want to give away something special to someone who won't appreciate it. Thanks to everyone in advance!

blowing smoke?

The "adult" XL stingray is pretty rare as is the springer version (Spoiler) but the one you have is fairly common.

So the people behind Boothillchoppers.com are just trying to scam people into spending $400 for a bike that regularly pops up on Craigslist and Ebay for $100 or less? The pegs and front fender are common?
 
Pretty much. I got mine for $100, it's chrome. It didn't have a front fender but they can be found on eBay for pretty cheap or you can just use a fender from something else. There was a silver one in a local pawn shop for months for 120. I see them on craigslist all the time.
 
Thanks!

I've done a little more research and found that, while only 3,500 of this model were produced thus making it quite rare, it's only as valuable as any other OCC Schwinn. I doubt anyone out there is desperately looking for chopper pegs. I feel like $400 is a conservative and reasonable price to ask.
 
Hey, if someone will give you $400 for yours, more power to you. Just don't be in a rush to get that money, it might be a while before that big catch.
 
I picked up my standard black (2004 version) o.c.c. for $25.00 in the condition you see it here. (except I removed the decals before i took the picture, and i got rid of the stock seat.)

I picked up this red spider bike version (from 2006 i think) for $40.00 in the condition you see it here.

Notice that the black one has no front fender, no front foot pegs, no front brakes, standard drag bars, and standard front hub.
Notice that the red spider bike has the front fender, front foot pegs, front brake, spider webbed high-ride bars, spider web front hub, and spider webbed decals.
these are nothing special in my mind, but if you think that you can get $400.00 for the one you have, go for it.
