Bonkers zed market on mainland Europe

[Chris_D]

Still can't quite get my head around zed asking prices over here in Holland, especially from dealers,
Placed an ad on marktplaats.nl today for some random crap i'm getting rid of and decided to have a quick butchers' at the zeds for sale.
Spotted one the same spec and age as mine - 2003, 3.0i with all the toys asking € 13.845,00!!! Or about 3 times what I paid for mine in the UK.
Bonkers!

Holland can be expensive...was over there for WSB in '09 and a local shop was selling those old fashioned cycles everyone seems to ride..they were 8 -900 Euros, get a bloody good mountain bike over here cheaper than that.

True. It's also why i decided to buy british when it came to my racing bike- full carbon frame and forks, shimano 105 groupset, sub 9Kg, all for €1000. You'd pay about twice that over here in Holland! Totally bonkers!

Whow!!! £12k plus, for that I would want an M at least 3 year newer. Ok so yours was a third of the price of here but it's a right hooker so not ideal for over there. But how do dutch prices compare to say german and french left hooker examples?

I believe the German market is also expensive compared to England and I know fine well the French market is a fortune , I thought I'd be able to wheel and deal a little when I lived there but everything was just so expensive , and from my personal experience there's not much room for negotiation!
