Be realistic here, thinking of selling my NRG.

Well, I do want to be a biker. Soon as I hit 17, I'd like to buy a bike with gears but I'd want a nice one, I couldn't stand ride a "ugly" bike. Anyway, if I sell my NRG, how much do you think I'll get? There is tiny little scruff's here and there but anything really, only problem is, 25,000 KM. Sad

It's been serviced every 5,000 KM which I think is good but it will put off a lot of buyers I recon... Anyway, how much do you think I'll get? Confused

Oh and I payed £750 for it, it had 21,000 KM, 3rd hand. It's still going strong, you can't notice anything wrong with it at all.

I'd estimate £300-400 maximum, as 50's aren't worth that much, plus the fact they're cheap to start off with aswell.

I sold my MBK scooter 7 months after buying it for half what I paid! Sad

if its done that many miles and its in abit of a scuffy condtions, you might get about 80p for it? maybe a pound, all people care about these days are miles, and boy that has done lots, when i sold my moped it handt done no where near as mine and i got about 500 pounds for it, far enough it had lots of damge to it where it had been crashed so many times but hey, 500 pound aint bad for a 50cc ped!

I can't express how minimal the damage is... It's like nothing, seriously. It's NEVER been crashed or DROPPED, the damage is literally like pin has touched it... It's lovely condition apart from tiny little markings (about 4 total) that you can barely see... When I posted "be realistic" in the topic, I meant it, why say 80p?

As a general rule of thumb:

Take a good picture, write a good short advert, and get it on autotrader as one of the cheapest there. Someone will buy it, and 25k is a lot for a scoot, but the chances are the 16 year old you sell it to knows fuck all about bikes, but knows car engine can happily go past the 100k mark.

I'm looking at the prospect of selling my Piaggio Typhoon for £150 at the most. Sad

Yup, I got 900 quid for my NS125R with 18k on the clock and in need of a rebuild.

Its just about beating the competition. Luckily I had no competition, and the that bought it test rode it in a T shirt and trackies, in an ill fitting helmet. Any bike feels fast in that gear.
