Advice please.

Right folks, bit of advice required please.
I am thinking about selling my 2010, 1200 TC.

I have been watching the GS Motorcycles for sale board for a while and people do not seem to be having much success on their.

My question is why is that ? Not a lot of money about, priced to high

Where is the best place to sell in your humble opinion ?

Cheers

the "market place" is probably a bit flooded with bikes at the moment with the release of the new model,and the fact that the GS has been a huge seller for the last few years.be realistic about how much you think the bike is worth and it will sell

I've used ebay to great success for my last two bike sales.

Be honest in the description - tyre tread depth, service history, extras will help it sell (but won't necessarily add to the standard value of the bike) so you may want to sell separately , or leave some things on to make it more desirable.

Make sure its clean and polished...no one wants to buy a "new" bike and have to set to cleaning it before they can show it to their mates. Otherwise expect to get far less for it.

Take really good photos (get a mate with an SLR if you don't have one yourself) with good contrast (bright sunlight...you remember that?) and in nice surroundings - I took my KTM up to a village green.

Show any damage too, this shows upfront honesty, saves wasting time and haggling too.

This is what I took to give an idea - note the piccys of scratches, tread depth etc. (that bike had done 20000 miles be ridden right through the winter..I love FS365)
