Josh1234 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Welp, the long ad said $2500, the short one said $2,000, and my buyer saw both. Asked me why I had two ads w/ different prices, and I explained that I wanted a long, thorough ad with my asking price, but some friends talked me into posting a shorter ad with my bottom line.He said "OK," and got a ride here to test ride it, and took it home w/ him for 2K. I maybe could've gotten another $250 if I'd posted it at 2500 in both, after haggling, but this way it's like I did my haggling online.Drat... I should've asked him which ad he liked better....... Would've settled the debate In any event, thank you for your opinions & advice, everyone, the bike was sold successfully, so it's a win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh1234 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Congratulatoins Josh! So what's next??? Quite possibly a Kawasaki z750s.Ad sucks. You'll never sell it. Ever.I shouldn't have let you guys talk me into posting it for $2,000 Still, though, I can't really complain, considering the profit I made after riding it for a year 66% profit margin GF is trying to talk me into being a salesman now, haha.

I'd say you priced it right. No one would have called at $2500. They are listing for $1500 in Columbus and still aren't selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
