OT: Value on 80's BMX bikes

I know a lot of you guys are riders from back in the day. I have a 20" Hutch expert and a 24" Hutch cruiser. Both decked out with what ever was the hot tip back in the early 80's. Someone has offered to buy them both but I have no idea what to ask for them. I know I payed a pretty penny back then but how much is a 25 year old bike worth these days?

Thanks!

Pretty much whatever you can get for it! I had a bike in the mid 80 that cost me $5,200, sold it in 2005 for $300!
Old technology is just that.

 

No, some of that old BMX stuff brings decent money. I don't recall which one it was but my buddy sold his 80's 24 inch BMXer for more than he paid for it. ($450 I think)

You need to do some investigating on your bikes before selling them IMO.

all i gotta say is.. wtf.. lol

 

I still have my Thruster Tri Power almost 30 years now, I see the frame and fork in very good condition are bringing $500, complete is a bit more depending on what cranks rims and hubs of course, I have seen NOS Hutch bear traps go for over $400 as well.

 

Hutches can be big bucks. Iv seen some in mint condition go well over a grand. It seems the u.s. models are the ones that get the $$$. If you have a nice set of hutch bear trap pedals, 3 piece cranks, hubs, bars or necks they can go for more than a whole bike.
