The rule pretty much is that you're not going to make any money on a conversion.
Especially when you tell everyone how much you've spent on it, and that the price has another £150 added on top, even though all the parts are now used.
You'd be very lucky to get back what you've spent on a conversion if the parts are all still new.
End of the day, you've got what was a nice road bike, put cheap fixed gear parts on it, and gave it a ridiculous price.
Nobody on this forum's going to go for that.
