canne sell my bike! - SV650.org

22-11-06, 04:03 PM

Hi folks. Hope everyone is well. Loads of new faces.

Still not sold my bike after months and months of trying. Does anyone know an auction house or a company who might buy it off me?? I'm desperate to sell now, it needs a good home.

I appreciate you've all probably got your SVs but if anyone is interested I've bumped the thread in for sale section.

2.5 year old bike for less than 2 grand can't be bad.

Can't believe it's not sold at that price... Have you tried local dealerships, see if they'll do a commission sale?

Baz,

You canny whack ebay. Stick it on at a low start price and no reserve. It might pucker your sphincter a bit but it will definitely sell.

I had the same problem trying to sell this time last year, but the main problem why it wouldn't sell was, it wasn't a SV, It was an MZ, I seriously couldn't even give it away, paid £1600 for it, and good condition 3 years old, I couldn't even get £400 for it.. The only thing I can see from your problem is the time of year, np-one wants to buy a bike to look at for 2 months before they can ride it, u dont wanna crash your new bike sliding on frost n ice.

ah, commision sale, that's an idea, so they'd get a % of the sale money?

I'm going to ring around some garages.

And Ebay is always an option I suppose.

Cheers

eBay
(need to log in to see this)
A few pointies are being sold and all above £2K
Try a Buy it Now or at least make it clear (in title) that's No Reserve

Its strange how it's not sold yet... if i thought i could get the curvy sold I'd have it

Think its just the wrong time of year thats kicked in now.
