Default Re: Pricing your bike to sell

My only advice would be that if it's a tidy modded bike you're going to get a better price from someone who is looking at it rather than from someone on the end of a phone. It follows that finding a potential buyer near enough to you for that to happen is key so consider taking some half decent photos of it and putting them on a flyer in your local biker cafe/meeting place, or better still going there and leaving one displayed on the bike itself. Obviously this only works if the bike really does have that initial "wow" factor when people see it, and be super careful about disclosing where the bike is kept until your satisfied they're genuine. If it doesn't actually stand up to close inspection it's sometimes better to have them travel a fair way to see it, that way they've pretty much convinced themselves they want to buy it by the time they arrive so as long it does what you said it did enthusiasm overcomes disappointment......
