Default Call me a n00b. Dirtbike Help

I've been out of the 'scene' or 'game' for about 4 years now.

I have a 2001 Xr400 and I'm interested in selling it but I have no idea on how or where to search for a fair price for the bike.

Any websites or any where I can look to search for a price?
I looked on Cycle Trader and craigs list and google.

I don't want to start a thread and get laughed at for my asking price.
Thanks in advance.

I honestly do not know the amount of hours on the bike.
It was ridden once a month from late 01 to about 04.
All regular maintence was done in those times.
Bike has been sitting for about a year now and I've only recently ridden it.
My brother rode it last and kinda bent the bars.
Other than that, bike fires up after about 3 kicks.
It's really fun to ride but I have school, a "racecar" and other activites with no truck and noone to ride with.

Hello! Coming from a Car Dealership, Ive learned KBB, Edmond's and Nada are not accurate. They give unreliable expectations. Especially in this kind of economy. So my suggestion is: Check out e-bay (most of the time averages less than what you can get locally), Craigs (a good mix), online resources (like kbb) and kind of combine an average. Have a good day and I hope this helps!

Thank ya. Off topic but how ya been?

And for the others, I was thinking of asking somewhere around 2 for the bike. I hate motor builds but honestly, I don't have the time for the bike.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I got the information I need.
