I only went to $325 because they were 185mm and that was what I really wanted for racing. I think Darrens only went for about £150 3 monthish ago and they looked OK for riders. Just goes to show know yer market before you bid or you will pay OTT

Yes your right, the same Cranks were put on ebay 6 week before with a profile spider & they did not reach there reserve of £200.

It really depends who wants them when you list them.

It also depends what type Darens were if they were first or second Box Cranks then they are worth a lot more.
