Just had a reply from the seller:

Quote
I am not going from the Parkers guide and
just based my price on others on E-bay and the
auto trader. My one is probably the best
condition and only 9K miles, and still one of the
cheapest around.
I am not desperate to sell the bike as just fancy
a change. The price I am after is £2500. This is
non negotiable if you are wanting to come and
view it.

So he's basically saying I don't care what it's worth I want more than that!
I'm not going to reply to him to but I think he's assuming because other bikes are listed at a certain prices he thinks they're selling at those prices.
How can you say I am going to ignore Parker's Guide & ask more?

So, Ill be popping in here more often & checking out what's for sale.

Walk away from it. He wouldn't exactly drop £500 from his original price anyway. Another will come up soon, and better deals. Just keep an eye on ebay and the for sale section.

aye, i've heard car dealers using that one "we don't use parkers" which is when I say "I know, which is why I got hold of the glasses guide"

in all fairness, a vehicle is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it on any given day of any given year, with consideration for weather, recessions, house prices and the cost of oil all playing their tiny little part in influencing the market...

there'll be a nicer one for less money along shortly
