Where to sell my ER and for how much.

[kawakid]

Can anyone tell me where am I best advertising my ER6n? 1 Owner, first registered Sep 2008.

Autotrader?
MCN?
Ebay?
Gumtree?

Also, I'm not too sure how much I should be listing it for.

The bike has 24K, it has a full service history, last service about 1000 ago.

Pretty much stock, apart from engine bars/hugger & screen.

It's been used as a commute, always garaged and never dropped.

It's not in pristine nick, but it's not bad, the engine bars could do with repainting and maybe some of the side engine covering.

Other sellers are around the £2K mark, but I sort of think that is taking the pxxs and is too high, but I don't want to sell to cheap.

Any advice appreciated.

Nice advert.

[Dave70]

Why not place it in the ads section on here, with some pics of course.

Personally, I'd try the obvious and cheapest adverts first, like ebay, gumtree or BCF. Then see how it fairs on them.

I'd go for eBay, I sold my last two bikes on there

Ebay for quick sale I reckon. Gumtree where I live is a waste of time, too many foreign billionaires trying to pay by western union and having their slaves pick up the bike.

Price it high enough so you can haggle down to a decent price that you're happy with, but not too high that punters lose interest before even contacting you.

Also give it a good wash and make it shine before taking pics, makes all the difference when trying to stand out of the crowd.

Gumtree because it's free, so why not.

I usually ebay everything though.

I use these prices as a first approximation:

Private Good: £1,980

Everyone thinks their bike is in "good" condition.

Hi,

I don't really need a quick sale, I am going to get another bike, but I am in no rush, so i'd wait for offers etc and go for the best one.

Anyway,

Here it is

So if £2K for good, Should I go for say £1800.

I will put on here.

And then gumtree.

Then i'm not too sure. I don't want to give it away on ebay.

What about Autotrader?

99p no reserve auctions are the way to go, you don't get the same adrenaline from a buy it now listing.

Errr, only one bike that had an engine and that must have been about £3k.

I've sold sold four pricey push bikes from 99p no reserve auctions and plenty of expensive computer parts.

I have some idea of what I expect or hope things might sell for but other than that it's just a case of what happens in the final hours / minutes / seconds of bidding.

[wots]

I bought my '56 ER-6F a little over two years ago and paid £1700 with only 16K on it, private sale. That included power commander, kwak top box and rack and other stuff. The ER-6 in general doesn't seem to command a price. They aren't bad bikes, there is just nothing special about them.

And Ste, I do exactly that. Only once has it bitten me, but even then not by much. I generally find, 99p start generates more interest, but you do have to brave it out.
