I'm being offered a tatty Brompton for £250. Is it worth it?

Bromptons, (http://notanothercyclingforum.net/bikereader/solo/brompton.html) like everything from bitcoins to houses, are worth what someone is willing to pay. That being said, I have prepared the following chart to provide guidance in this matter.

These estimates are a result of the relatively high value placed on the marque, and assume middle of the road models. Special editions like this Jubilee (http://road.cc/content/news/57683-brompton-launch-limited-edition-jubilee-bike) Brommie, which the Queen uses to get around Buckingham Palace, are in a price bracket of their own.

You can of course always do up a tatty Brompton, bearing in mind that epiphanies (http://www.lfgss.com/thread99086.html) cost extra.
