dmagicglock Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Okay so I've had my bike listed for sale for quite some time and had quite a few low ball offers but today I met up with a guy to show him my r6 and he wants to go ahead and buy it, but I'm not sure if I should sell it based on his offer. I finally lowered my price to $5700 on craigslist and he's wanting to give me around $5400 for it.... So I'm making this a poll question to get your guys (and gals) input. Should I stand my ground and say no lower than $5700 because I feel thats giving it away already?Or should I consider the market conditions and gladly take his offer of $5400...? (bike is 2006 r6 3650 miles, ext warranty, a few mods) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked up the value of the 04 r6's?Ah I'm selling it cause I don't have any time to ride it with a new baby. I'll probably get another motorcycle in a couple years when my daughters a little older. The KBB is $6535. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 im gonna say that 5400 is not giving it away.actually im gonna say if you get 5400, take it and runI agree. NADA puts it at $4400 - $5800. $5400 is a good sale with the way the economy is. You're making out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I missed out on NOT selling my Katana one month ago because I did not want to take less then 2K for it. The potential buyer and me were only $200 apart on price. I dont really need to sell my bike, but then again, I dont really need 2 bikes.For a few hundred dollar difference on your sale, I would say go ahead and sell it.

NinjaNick Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I don't see why you're selling it. Just cuz you can't ride doesn't mean you can't have a bike.I have twins coming out in 2.5 months and my 14 will still be in the garage. It will hardly get ridden, but when the time comes and I get the bug again I'll already have a motorcycle there and ready to roll out on. There will be a day or few that you'll just be stressed and need to go for a ride after a month or so with no riding. I never understood why people think they need to sell things when they have kids. It's like a tradition or something for some odd reason.If you really want to make the mistake friend, tell him $5500 and sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd#43 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Selling something for less than you wanted is always a tough thing - especially if its paid for.If you don't NEED the money, keep it and wait to get your price.On the other hand, if you need the money, $5,400 isn't bad for that bike.

rick37 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 congrats on the new baby, what is a few hundred bucks really, But if you don't need the money keep the bike if you do then take the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 If you're selling it for $5400, be sure to drag your naked sack across the tank for some smug satisfaction. Can't put a price on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 if i wasnt attached to the bike, i'd just sell it and get something shinier and fancier next time when i DO have time to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Blah, blah i'm having a baby I have to sell my bike. F that shit. I have FOUR kids and a bitch for a wife who wants to sell all things I like(bikes,guns) I still have one of my two bikes left in the garage. I may not ride it much but I sure as hell am not gonna sell it! I say keep it, once you get rid of it good luck getting another one. Or you could always be the guy who says I use to ride but got rid of my bike when I had kids. Then go out and buy a harley when you retire and your kids are out of the house.

speedwolf02 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 my opinion. if u need money badly sell it. but if ur just selling it just cause u dont use it enough DONT SELL IT!! i mean its brand new! i put 3 k on my bike in not even a month. if u know your not going to be using for the next couple years just put a cover over and forget about it for a little while. but when you want to ride it once in a while it will be there. but if you sell it your going to be sorry u did and have nothing to ride.. just my 2 centsGL with havin a kid and hope it goes well:banana: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
