Please help a newbie! Value of 2018 Fat CAAD 2?

Hello! I am struggling to figure out if the price someone is asking is fair for a Cannondale 2018 Fat CAAD 2. It comes with a brand new set of 45NRTH studded tires (they retail about $150 each). The bike is in really good condition with no known issues. The summer tires it currently has on are in good condition.

The seller is asking $1400, and that includes the tires. The bike has no upgrades and it has a large sized frame.

For additional context, I am in Alaska and I have been told that fat bikes keep their value very well in our market. I already checked all of the online resources but I don't think they accurately reflect the reality of the market up here. It is also hard to come by large frame used bikes. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Editing to add: MSRP is $1899 USD

CAAD10

Hey guys, I’m looking for my first proper road bike. Currently been riding 1980s Shwinn and I’m ready to make the switch to something a bit lighter/faster. Found this CAAD10 at a LBS and they mentioned it’ll be listed for somewhere between $800-1000. Is that worth it? Bike Blue Book shows this bike around $400. Thoughts?

Gravel Curious

I did some gravel riding at the end of August in Vermont and Quebec and really enjoyed myself. So I put some GRC 1400s with 35mm tubeless Continentals (the widest the bike can take) and an ENVE SES AR handlebar on my Synapse, with Silca Nastro Cuscino tape—so cozy!

I haven’t had a bike with tires this wide in 30 years, and man, they’re comfortable. I had no idea.

Looking forward to doing some light off-road riding here in the Portland, OR area now.
