He's right. ebay yields about $4250 on a similar bike and I've seen high mileage units asking in the upper $4k range. Good luck!

You can make anything a condition of the auction. State "Bike is financed. Buyer will pickup locally and be issued a title at the financing agency once paid for." Or someting like that. Just make sure its clear in the auction. Or you could require a deposit for the amount owed, pay for the bike and then allow for local pickup when full paymentis made.

Thanks, a local dealer will also show it for 10% on consignment, im most likely going to do that and ask 4000

ok. I'll look for your post in a month when it hasn't sold. I'd list at $4k but not expect to get more then $3500 (makes it seem like your making a deal, so if you want $4k list at $4.5k and let people "talk" you down to $4k). good luck once again with your sale.

There's nothing wrong with starting the price a little high. You can always come down on the price, but you can never go up.

Not sure if I should get into this or not, but here's my 2 cents. Selling a bike is a unique thing, some areas get more money than others for different kinds of bikes, the weather plays a big part in what people are willing to pay pending on how bad they want a bike to ride because it's finally 80 degrees...ect... Like I always tell my kid who collects hockey cards, "I don't care if the book says that card is worth $300 it's only worth what someone is willing to pay". As far as the value of the bike depends on your area, how bad you want to sell ect... I bought a 98 hawk https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ead.php?t=2738 with 7200 miles on it for $2900, but the guy wanted (needed) it gone. I'm not trying to say "low ball yourself" but if you really want it gone pricing it can be a tricky thing..
