Default Best place to sell bikes?

I was just wondering where people have had the best experience with selling thier bike? The reason I ask is, I've tried on the forum, I've tried all the free papers, I've tried ebay, a similar bike has been on autotrader for 8 weeks, and I have been told I don't have a chance on selling in MCN unless I'm in london. So I'm out of ideas.

eBay classifieds are excellent. You get 28 days for about £20 I think. It's not an auction, just an ad for the price you want and you'll come up in all the searches then. You can put in lots of photos to show off your bike and a good long description.

good luck.

the screen looks a bit funny in the piccy (looks damaged) although its just the light & rain ?

why £2000 & no reserve as you will have to sell it
did you not want to start low with a reserve


i only ask cos im probaly going to put mine on there

yeah, its just the rain. I thought £2000 was quite low for an 06 bike, and I know a lot of people don't bother bidding if an item has a reserve, dunno why, but things always seem to go for more with no reserve.
