Default Question about selling saddlebags

How much should I sell them for? I put hardbags on 2018 heritage, and took the OEM ones off at 20k miles. There's no damage to the bags. What's a good asking price?

Look at ebay/craigslist/hd forum. If nothing, then retail at 50%.

Tomo they attach to your fender strut with spacers in-between the bag and the fender. They also have an arm that hooks into a bushing on the frame for stability. I'm not sure exactly what you'd have to do to out them on a fatboy

I got them from eBay from a seller j123creative. They're stock takeoffs from a 14+ touring model. They're not perfect but they're damn close. I paid like 280 for the bags and lids and just needed the latches which I got from Advan black.
The mount is cyclevision baggertail. There are a ton of threads on how to convert them over.
Right now I have stock exhaust, and it doesn't really work with it, the right side bag sits on top of the muffler and pushes down a little and makes the bag sit a little crooked. I'm changing out to bassani duals once I've got the money for the pipes and a thundermax.

Thanks, I work hard to make my bike something that everyone else can enjoy looking at too.
I still have a long way to go with exhaust and panel fillers and stuff but it'll all come together one day.

Check the spacing of these two bolts compared to the Heritage. If they match, the bags should be easy to mount. You'll have to move your turn signals, but lots of options for that.
