I got a early 90's Powerlite P-17 Fireball I am looking to get rid of, any idea how much it's worth?

Although it's probably a really cool frame theres not a lot of collectors of MID school frames/bikes.
The US forums have midschool sections and well and maybe they could offer more info.
A word of warning though. They do not like people coming onto their forums asking a "whats it worth" question.
Ebay will determine what it's worth.
I would tell you but I really have no idea. I'd put it on ebay at a start bid of $200 and see what happens.

It's my son's bike so I am just tyring to get an idea.  I have been out of the sport for so long I would not know where to start with the pricing.  I just finished a 85 Freestyle for him and really enjoyed building it, It reminded me of the old days.  Its funny though, I took him to the local skate park and no one knew what it was.  I actually overheard someone saying it's a knockoff, new bike made to look old.

Thanks

Lol new kids don't have a clue. There has been a few Retro Haros come out over the past 5 years. Very heavy though.
I had a look on bmx museum site and the Powerlite is a middle of the road bike and certainly not junk. Maybe you should build it for a rider for yourself?
 I'm 6ft and I ride all my 20" bikes. I'm 44 too !!

Over the last week I have taken him to a few skate parks and I actually had someone say that the Haro was a new frame made to look old school.  There was only one person who actually recognized the bike.  I got to post somr picks
