I need to sell off some wheels to make room for some new ones I plan to build. I have a set of 2009-2010 vintage Mavic Cosmic Carbone SL clinchers with Shimano 11-speed compatible freehub. They are in near-perfect condition with no scratches or damage. The freehub has been routinely lubricated in accordance with Mavic instructions. All original accessories and documents will go with the wheels. The only reason I'm selling them is that I am moving to wider wheels for all my bikes. The big question: what price should I ask?

Moderators, please move this to the classifieds if that is more appropriate.

Thanks,
Greg

I bought a pair that are 11s compatible (I believe that even the early ones are).

They sat on a table at the bike swap for a few hours before I picked mine up for $220 in top condition.
They seem very well built, have 13mm inside width, carry speed well (are fast) but can twist the bars when a gust of wind sneaks up on you.
Ok, that last sentence you already knew!

Are these the ones you're selling? I don't know what year mine are from.

Yup, that appears to be them. You got those for a great price! I was hoping to sell mine for closer to $400 based on recently completed eBay listings...

Honestly they seem worth more because of their build quality.

I sold a nice set of the old Helium aluminum wheels recently for $300, they came off of a used-bike purchase.

A photograph of the outside surfaces of the inner FTS hub body might well improve any good-condition Mavic wheel's selling price imo.
