Best online place to sell my bike?

[Poita]

[quote="Nobby the Bastard"]In that case I'm going to call you a cockwomble and be done with it. WD was very gentle when he explained what your bike was worth.

Chinese stuff is generally shit when they design it themselves. They can't build a jet engine for toffee.[/quote]


I always feel a bit sorry for the types I come across on forums who's main triumph in life seems to be insulting strangers on the internet for no other reason than their needing to convince themselves they aren't losers.

[Nobby the Bastard]

WD gave you perfect advice. You chose to be an arsehole about it.

This is payback.

No doubt you've been told that you've blown your beans in some bird at got them pregnant and thats why you need a car. Chances are it was actually Dave who did the dodgems at the fair 7 months ago.

Saying 'you went full retard' is a gentle rebuke on your lack of wisdom
If I want to be insulting I can do much much better than that.

Vehicle depreciation is a fact of life.
Its pretty steep curve that only levels out after say 5-6 years
Go out and buy a brand new bike/car for say £10000 for instance.
As soon as you plonk your bum on the seat and ride it home its a second hand vehicle worth say £8500, £9000 if lucky

This applies to even top quality vehicles not just cheap Chinese bikes
produced 24/7 from one of (literally) hundreds of factories.

If you were able to contain whole paragraphs in your head you would have known that my reaction was to his insult and not is advice.
The reason you would have known that is because I clearly differentiated between the two.
The reason you didn't know it is because you are clearly a bit dim.

In that case, you don't seem to even understand the meaning of the words you use then.
Someone is retarded when they are incapable of learning regardless of of how much experience they have with something. . . not when they happen to not have had experience of something at all.
As you have likely had experience of new bikers not knowing certain things and continue to use the wrong term and learn that you are using the wrong term, ironically that is a more exact example of being retarded :)

Having said that, I take your meaning that it was a general phrase you were using.
lol, I will admit that I lose my cool when strangers insult me on forums so tend to hard charge at them even beyond what is merited. The fact that I haven't learned to take it easy in such exchanges would actually be an indicator that I am retarded.

Your advice otherwise is very useful. Thanks.
As I said, I chose this particular bike as I really love the form factor and the only alternative was the Honda CBR125 but there were none available over the summer and no indicator as to when there might be so I went with this.

[Nobby the Bastard]

You then went full retard when you decided full retard is incredibly uncomplimentary.

Twat.

On the reply page, stop ticking the box for BBCode where it says ignore markup.

You can say whatever you want about reasons for purchasing new but your bike will still only sell for about £1300 or £1400 at the most.

@Mysteriass: I'm happy to laugh at myself for lack of experience/knowledge. It's actually a sign of maturity and intelligence to know that one can be a complete dumbass at times.
Being just plain insulted though is a different matter. Internet or not, when someone insult me I let them have it. It is the way.

@Fat Angry Scotsman: Fair point but each to his own. I prefer to scorch anyone who is nasty for it's own sake.

@Ste: Yes I'm a grown assed man. that's why I don't take shit from anybody.
And, I don't know how to quote. I click quote but it won't let me edit so I have to quote the whole thing. I see that BBCode box is auto ticked. What does it do?

Biting back at trolls, especially trolls that have been on the online community a lot longer than you have, is never a good idea realistically.

I know people have been douchey towards you, but as it's going I predict you'll exit the forum within two weeks. If you ignored them and took the good parts of the advice, you'd probably do OK here. It's actually a fun place. There is light touch moderation, user based auto moderation and generally a good atmosphere.

People have been overly harsh, I acknowledge that, but nobody is going to get their posts deleted or be banned for using bad words. The worst that happens is the thread gets moved to fights and flame wars and everyones karma will take a hit.

Normally the attitude shown in early replies is reflective of the attitude of a users initial posts, and how they respond is something of a test. It's probably not a 'nice' test, but that is nevertheless how it ends up working.

I don't want to say it's OK for people to be dickheads to each other here, but I guess in a way that's what I am saying. I don't like it, but there is a price to pay for not having overly restrictive moderation, censored words, insta bans, facebook jail equivalents etc etc.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[gbrand42]

I would just like to point out that in the time you have spent trying to defend your position and get all hurt about the perfectly sound advice you have already received here, your Chinese folly has probably lost another £200 of value.

It's a disposable white good, second hand washing machines don't fetch a lot either.

Oh and......

This is not a good time of year for selling bikes. The weather is crap and even long term experienced bikes shut up shop for the winter, wait till spring if you want to get a decent price or bite the bullet and let it go for what you can get.

The OP isn't this guys mate is he

Sounds like he did his CBT, waited a few months to buy a bike (brand new Mutt Mastiff 125), rode it 31 miles home and fell off, now wants to sell it for £300 less than he bought it for (with a scuffed exhaust and brake pedal) as he is too scared to ride it

The problem with you insulting me though is that you are clearly such a low grade human being that I just don't care.
I imagine you just mumble insults and profanities as par for the course even when you are alone.

And as for your invite to meet up which is clearly a threat. I'm sorry to disappoint you but I live in a world of adults not school children.
