Update, just had a tuneup done at a bike shop. They chipped some paint on the upper part of the downtube, as shown in pics.

Fatbikes are kinda niche now and not easy to sell especially in NJ. You can find sub 2k Salsa, Trek, Spesh carbon bikes pretty regularly. I have two fat bikes and don't expect to sell them as it not worth the hassle unless I almost give them away. I don't know what you paid, if you bought it when Framed closed their doors, it won't be as bad, but expect dimes and quarters to the dollar. I recently sold a new set of fatbikes wheels and tires for $150 shipped as I just wanted them out. Probably not what you want to hear, but unfortunately the reality. Have you tried to list the bike anywhere else?

Maybe have a look on pinkbike and see what similar bikes have sold for to get a better idea of the market.

I guess being a full suspension fatbike is both good and bad for selling. Rare, but very niche. I only came across one sold at Pros Closet that was sold for $3200. That’s all I have to go off of.
Currently its on here, pinkbike, and fb marketplace but not in any groups.

I see lots of people on fatbikes on Long Island. Try selling through C.L.I.M.B. on Facebook. They have a user group where members often sell bikes.

Updated pics so you can see it better.

2020 model?
Are the rims carbon or alloy?

According to BIKERUMOR and other reviews this 2020 model sold new for $2900 with GX drivetrain, X1 cranks, carbon wheels, no dropper.

Review: Framed Montana is more than a snow machine - it's a trail eater

The days are getting shorter, and the weather’s colder – winter has finally arrived. That can only mean one thing – time to bust out…

Good thing these can be ridden year round.

Make them fix the damage. They mishandled it badly.
