Unfortunately, it's time for me to sell my motorcycle. This bike has treated me very well since I bought it, but graduation is forcing me to sell it.

Can you take it off of any sweet jumps?

[hmiles619]

haven't yet, but for $3400 you're welcome to try

[TwelfthAG]

You need to do something about your yard.

was thinking the same thing.... im sure its "graduation".

[whitelightnin_23]

yep...getting serious w/ girl = get rid of toys...

welcome to married life buddy ;)

naw, it's either the motorcycle or a new tv and xbox360...i chose the latter

[hmiles619]

just got a $2800 offer on the bike :huh:

[jagowar]

then i have to say good job... 2800 would buy you a nice hdtv and 360 ;)

[hmiles619]

that's 18% off the asking price though...pretty big jump

[jagowar]

it is a first offer though.... its not a horrible first offer. do a counter offer and see if he goes for it.

oh i agree, that was my plan. I have a target price that I won't go below, just surprised that his first was so low. I'm new to negotiation as well

[whitelightnin_23]

usually you price something & have about a 10-20% cushion for negotiation.

if the person who offered is a friend, I'd let them know that price (the firm price) and be done with it...if they're Joe Stranger...I'd counter-w/ the asking price & see what they can do.

usually they offer less in hopes of paying less, but if the bike weren't in their price range (at asking price) it wouldn't have caught their eye...

$600 is pretty immaterial (on both ends) & being that this is your first offer, you're really not inclined to do anything...and nor should you have to.

you sound like a pro :gig:

still for sale

[Superaggie79]

I want it so bad.... but my g/f would hate me forever.

just don't tell her :cool:

[Mole]

If your still selling it in two or three years let me know. I might be ready to buy then.

i'll try to keep that in mind

[Mole]

I'm just kidding ya. I hope you get it sold. It's a really nice bike. Too bad I'm not in a position to buy it from you or I would.

[hmiles619]

yeah, i knew what you meant. and yes, it's a great bike. I love it :gig:

[hmiles619]

this seems to be the common theme though. I've had about ten people tell me how great of a deal the bike is, how it's in great condition and how fun it is, but only about two considering the pull of the trigger. It's going to be nice to get it sold eventually

[hmiles619]

I haven't been able to show my bike since I've been pretty busy, but there's a guy coming in today to look at it. I'm gonna miss it if it sells:(
