What timto says, and the end the market ends up with as excess of inventory moving around. Old and new stuff.
People is trying to get their money back aswell and the situation is that you can't make the money back unless you have pretty much EM personal bike or something so rare that only 1 was made ever... thing that is never like that.
IMO the big companies screwed the whole thing aswell because they channelized the market towards new type of bikes (well thats how marketing works anyways) and they "glut" the market with the new stuff which everybody apparently wants aswell.
No idea about your bike OP but IMO if you need the money I would try to sell it in parts and then see what happens with the frame. Another detail, if you have a custom made frame that has really wacky geometry like what serotta made time to time, those are really hard to sell.
Try adding OBO and see what people is willing to pay for it you know. You will get low ball offers but sometimes is not even that, it is just what it is you know, and I do get that it sucks but there's no money in bikes... cruel reality.
