ReconRat Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Couldnt have said it better myself. I was even generous with the Retail cost.Quite generous, since in my opinion, retail comes from a bike shop, with an inspection, repairs, and a warranty. For what it's worth...

For what it's worth...Overly generous, I would never pay retail from a private owner. If that bike was mint and I really wanted it 3500 at best. That means everything is tip top, never dropped, all stock, with like new Pilot Powers. But more than likely 2800 to 3. I think I'll call him tomorrow and offer him 2K.

Disclaimer Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 That's an '03... he probably could get asking price if it was one of the '98 models -- that's the best year for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Considering $3k is trade-in, you were very generous. But dont forget, it also has a hard plastic thingy to go over the second seat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Drives me nuts, but I choose not to challenge these people. Market forces will win in the end (or a dipshit with cash will come along and pay it). My favorite are the ones with all the aftermarket bling that suddenly makes the used bike worth more than retail new. Maybe I'm the exception, but I post my price at a number that will sell and generally don't come down, but rarely asked to.

BonkerS Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 The problem is that people tend to think their aftermarket parts adds way more to the value than it really does. If he was smart, he'd go back to stock (if he saved the parts) and sell the aftermarket separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
