oldschoolsdime92 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 So, I am having one heck of a time trying to sell this bike. I have gone as far to drop the price 1000 bucks and toss in a brand new set of tires. Where else can I post my bike for sale other than cycle trader. Has anyone ever put a bike on ebay? How does that work with the fees and everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted12 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I have bought and sold bikes on ebay I have had good luck. But at the price you are asking with the tires you think it would sell locally. I think it would sell on ebay for whay you want. You can try craigslist wouldnt cost you anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporty105 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I put my old bike on Craigslist with a few pictures and an accurate discription and had several replies within the hour. Be careful though, there are some wierdos out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 bought 4 and sold 3 via craigslist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thGix Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) I think its really hard to sell anything right now. Slow economy, people getting laid off, or just working reduced hours. Not to many people wanting to cough up money for toys. I saw you ad on CL. well maybe i didnt. someone elses on here.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 its on craigs and cbr forum. Ugh. =( I was really hoping to have my new bike before the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 More motorcycle forums...cbrforum, etc.Correct answer. Find every Honda forum related to your bike everywhere in the country. My next door neighbor sold his to a dude in Montana that way. Someone out there wants exactly your make, model and year. They want it bad and will pay for it. They are surfing all the forums devoted to your bike right now looking for you..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 So what is the price on it now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingset Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 If it's on a widely viewed site like Craigslist and not selling there are only two possibilities:1. It's listed poorly. Bad description, photos, terms, or not enough information.2. It's priced too high.Simple as that.You can say "well, it's not a popular bike" or "the economy is bad", but #2 always overrules those concerns. Price is low enough, it sells....unless the description sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jermattak Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 ive sold three bikes on craigslist during this shitty economy without any problems, and i was asking a fair price. people are buying bikes, no doubt. how abouts you link us to your craigslist ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 dustin, the asking price is 2000. Heres my ad. Actually its on there twice. I need to update the description, as the chain has about 1500 miles on it now.and It has an m3 on the front and an m1 on the rear. I bought the bridgestone bt014s that where for sale on here new, and they will be going with the bike also. Same description. Different pics.http://dayton.craigslist.org/mcy/1351035717.htmlhttp://dayton.craigslist.org/mcy/1338895909.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 keep the tires! It wont really help the sale.... Selling sucks in 09! Maybe i suck at descriptions?????? Good luck and anything under $3000 sells! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
