How much should I sell for?

[GeoffCollins]

This isn't a for sale thread as such (will post in the for sale section when done)...

Just trying to figure out:

1. How much to sell for? Not in an massive hurry to sell, but do want to sell it...

2. Better to sell the bike with accessories or Sell bike and accessories / luggage separately?

What's everyone think?

Dont sell it.... keep it, and ride it into the ground

Maybe...

But we're saving to buy a boat and we need the pennies!

I might decide to keep it depending on the consensus of what is a fair price.

I'd put it up for around £9k without the luggage.

Definately sell the bits separately to get the maximum back.

The guide price for a private sale for an '06 model (I'm assuming it's an '06 since you did a trip in '06) is £7,380.

Defo either ask for extra for the luggage or sell it separately.

Local dealer is punting out mid 06 bikes at 9k, so I'd say 8.5k into Autotrader. If you're advertising here, a couple of similar bikes have gone for around 8k.

And strip it back to standard. The luggage is worth about 5-550 for the panniers, and another 2-220 for the topbox. Other bits are probably worth about 50% of their new cost on average.

That's for a GS, not a GSA.

Hmmm

Feels like it's not worth selling if its £8500

Prolly find other money for the boat

Thanks for all the advice

Thanks for all the Advice chaps....

Decided to go for £8900 based on your advice and thinking about what those numbers mean to me...

Going to put it on the forum for a week and then look at autotrader or something... Here you go
