Total bike write off

I took the buyout as they wanted too much for the salvage. They upped the final offer by quite a bit after I sent them some online sales of similar bikes on kijiji. They would not consider any bikes listed on bringatrailer or Facebook as similar examples for determining value. Don’t know why. I could have paid the salvage price and rebuilt the bike but I probably would not get to sell it for any more that the buyout and I didn’t have to deal with anyone on Kijiji.

Willing to let us know what they wanted for the "wreck"?

If you were in possession of the bike and interested in buying it back for certain parts that I assume were in working condition and not damaged, why not just swap them out prior to the ins company collecting the bike?
