What value?

[AndyW]

I have a pair of standard R1200GS shocks (front & rear) that I want to sell - from a 2005 model bike, less than 4000 miles use (no off road, predominantly dry weather), A1 undamaged clean condition.

I can fleabay them but would prefer to offer them here first but have no idea what a fair asking price might be.........anyone?

Bloody hell, unusual for nobody to voice their opinion round here!

Nobody bought any/see on ebay recently or whatever? :-(

I'm crap at valuing things so take the following for what it's worth, but, given that most people would replace the worn out WBM shocks with some thing like a Wilbers I'd say, for them to be tempting, at least half the price of a set of Wilbers

Andy they are worth about a fiver each...I will reluctantly take them off your hands.

Seriously, half the price to buy new would be fair, but like anything if demand outstrips supply who knows, people seem to pay silly prices on e-bay nowadays.

Good point, thanks.

They're yours!..................P&P is £400, that ok?

Is there really no demand for a pair of barely used 1200 shocks?........no response to ad in FS section here and no bids on eBay:

You should have taken the guy's hand off-at the shoulder when he offered £250 on e-bay
I would have thought most people changing their shocks would go after market not OEM-but you probably knew that anyway,hope you get lucky and find a short arse 1200ADV owner in need of lower shocks

Just for the record....they finally sold on eBay for £330 inc P&P
