I got a price for my SRAD a few weeks back just for interest sake, about 50% market value. I decided to keep the bike.
You might be better off selling it to a bike shop,time of year is right.Probably won't get as much as selling it privately tho
I've sold 3 bikes to my local dealer, money in bank that afternoon, price wasn't amazing but in all honesty wasn't terrible. WAY better than we buy any bike.
I know at least one person who got more than he was expecting or had been offered by private buyers\dealers. I think it's down to the bike, condition, mileage etc. and whether they think they can shift it for a profit. I actually say a "We buy any bike" van driving down my way. So I assume they pick up and collect when buying in certain cases, I always was under the impression you had to take the bike to them. I could be wrong though.
they pick up. There is 2 of them, .co.uk and .com One is in Bradford, used to be Viva Moto now Rite Bike. I bought an MV 750S off them for £300 more than they paid for it. I sold my 999S to the Superbike Factory last year - had it advertised for £5K for 2 months with no takers with a view of taking £4500. They phoned me, did a deal at £4700 over the phone - collected, paid by bank transfer while the driver waited, money in the bank no issues.
These are another up my way that are very pro active in the acquisition department. We Buy Bikes - Jem Speed Shop, Batley, West Yorkshire
Would like £7000. O miles when I purchased it 4 months ago only rode 3 times , just turned 60 thought I needed something more comfortable, just don't like it will stick to my sports bike.
What MY? Just threw a 64 plate into Wise Buyers Guide and trade is 6300 ish. Go have a look there so you know if it's a good or bad offer.
To be honest, id just look on ebay, see what sort of prices the same make/model/mileage tend to go for, then stick mine up for a .99p starting bid, no reserve. Unless you have really bad pictures or have worded your description in a strange way, it will always fetch the market price and have a massive audience of people who will see it. Thats exactly what ive done with the last 3 vehicles I sold privately and was more than happy that I got a fair price for them. Take for example the MK4 Golf GT TDI I sold the other year. Garage offered me "trade" price for it which was £500. I looked on ebay, they tended to sell roughly between £2000 and £2500. Mine had very high mileage, so started it off at .99p, ended up selling for £2300. So bang on the money. You can maybe do a 1 week listing, ending on a Sunday, with terms that the buyer collects within 7 days. What you may find is that loads of people will make you offers outside of that for an even quicker sale. When I sold my wifes car last year, I looked on there and they tended to make around £1400 for her make/model. I listed the car on the Sunday evening. Bloke contacted me straight away and came and viewed it on the Tuesday (in the pouring rain). Agreed on £1500 cash in order to stop the listing, he left deposit and collected on the Friday morning.
There's 2 on Ebay 2013 DUCATI MONSTER M1100 EVO ABS 20TH ANNIVE | eBay 2013 DUCATI Monster,M1100 EVO 20TH Anniversary,4k,FSH,Termi,free delivery,may px | eBay So his want of £7000 doesn't seem bad value at all... Whether a dealer would pay that or closer to £6500 is open to debate though.
