Why the heck can't i sell my bike!!!!
Ok guys, I've been trying for over 3 weeks now to sell my Heritage. Its a SWEET BIKE!! I've only had 2 people who were interested in it. But they were just doin some tire kickin'. I dont really think I have the bike priced too high and with everything that is done to the bike, It would cost someone a FORTUNE to outfit a bike like this. What do you guys think a fair asking price is for it. 2002 Heritage Softail Classic, 26k miles. EXCELLENT condition with enough chrome to blind anyone. I've started asking around $14k, then dropped the price to around $13k. Not one single bite. I know it has to do with location and time of year, but man, Its just been alot harder than I thought. Somebody here tell me what to sell it for. Its been on ebay for over 2 weeks now and not ONE single bite yet. Not even a question!!!!!! Damn frustrated!!!
And heres a list of the goodies, Am I crazy or is that ALOT OF STUFF. Someone would have to buy a stock 2002 for like $6,000 to be able to get one looking like this for the same money i'm asking!

Try getting a loan!!! It doesn't matter how much you invested into the bike..... Thats why Harley Sales are down.. Bikes are not on the necessity list, so either you will pay high interest or not get the cash to buy. Got my loan back in Feb/March of 08,,,,, miss the BS by the skin of my teeth....had I waited till now............I wouldn't be able to either get a loan or afford one.
Its the value of the bike when you bought it....how much would it be worth?? Strip everything off it you paid for and ebay it as parts.
The other factor,,, You have a awsome bike!!!! but many can buy new Harley's in the same price range,,, without thinking of whats truely invested into the bike your selling........ I realize it! I feel your pain!!!

It's just the current economy. I had the same issues with my YZF600R. Had it priced $500 below low retail, ultra low miles and about $1500 in extras. I got a couple of offers to trade junk cars so I pulled it off the market after 3-4 weeks. I'll put it up again and if it doesn't sell I'll ride it before I give it away.

I'm hoping so, I mean my wifes custom Pink/Black sportster had people all over it the first 3 days I listed it in the classifieds here. I was asking retail price for it too! I know that people here remember this bike, It used to belong to Marsh, I traded my beloved RKC for this bike, Heck, looking back at things, If I had realized that I would have to get rid of this bike so quickly, I'd have just kept the RK, It would have been MUCH easier to sell I think,
Heres a pic of my old RKC, I traded Marsh straight up for his heritage!
