[QUOTE="bronko37, post: 147523, member: 3617"] Last year I sold this 1975 Honda GL 1000 on eBay for $2200. It took me 3 days to sell it. Part of it was just being lucky, right buyer at the right time. The other part of it was the actual listing. If you are trying to sell the bike then you have to [i]sell[/i] the bike. Its all in how you word the add. People want to buy a bike that doesn't need any work for that kind of money. If you list the bike as something that will need constant fiddling then you will have a hard time getting that kind of money. Talk about all of the good things about the bike. Personally I think that you have a really nice looking machine there with cool Honda bags and gear, matching paint, and it sounds like it runs really well. "bike shimmies when I let go of the handle bars" -- Dont let go of the :sensored: handle bars, lol. You could talk yourself right out of a sale by talking about the things that the bike MAY need. You don't need to be dishonest, but lets face it, all of our bikes could use something. If it runs and drives well I would focus more on that... LOTS OF PICS IN YOUR ADD TOO! I also like to pose my bike on a nice sunny day, you would be surprised how much more inviting that makes the pictures look. [/QUOTE]
