Can anyone tell me why this yeti is worth $12,000?
Well Yeti is a pretty iconic brand, this is an early 90,s frame and was one of the first "carbon" frames in the mtb section. When new these frames weren't exactly cheap either. The alloy version of this frame would have been around 3000 dorras from new. I don,t know the price for these anymore but you can be very sure that not a lot of them where sold. then consider how easy carbon breaks, especially when ridden proberly.
I had the ally version and you would get dings quicker than you could say "motherfucker". so there aren't many left. Now put the ususall crazy yank/japanese collector into the equation and that should explain the price...
