I apologize if I'm not in the correct forum to ask, but I may be looking to sell my 14 SGS and was curious if anyone would recommend a method of advertising that is better than Craigslist? It saddens me to post this, but due to personal circumstances, I need to sell but not in a position that I absolutely have to sell. I figured the if I get a decent offer then I'll sell and look to get a new bike in a couple years when the timing is right. Your input will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

 

Cycle Trader gets a lot of views.

 

Some people have success with consigning their bikes at a dealer. The dealer takes a big chunk of the sales price, but they handle financing, taxes, qualifying the buyers and all sorts of other stuff. Makes it real easy, but you do pay for the help.

 

I got many calls off craigslist, not one person came to see the bike, had three offers of what the dealer gave me trade in.. sight unseen.
I also had it on ebay, that may be a choice, however you make sure they have to handle shipping if someone buys it from afar... I've sold several trucks on Auto Trader, Cycle Trader is the same company, good results with them also.

 

Of course, you could advertise it in the local News Paper.......Now I'm showing my age,,,,,

 

Local newspaper?? Do they still print newspapers?

 

Ebay...hands down. As a new listing, you get 6 free weeks at no cost except for a few $ for 24 rather than the 4 standard picture shots. Of course if you sale, it's about $60 upward depend on amount. I run RIP's and my account and have sold a boat, jetski and 2 cars for about $60 a pop.

My local paper is also a good bet. They are relist free renewal for 90 days. (Cars until it sales) More than likely even Ebay sale is going to be local.

 

I appreciate all of the valuable input. I've had it listed for a couple weeks on Craigslist and cycle trader with no serious offers. I may end up running it by a local dealership to see what they can do on consignment.
