Only your value is based on your experience. It has nothing to do with the true value in the marketplace.

...... and the heck with that "whatever someone is willing to pay" horseshit. The price is based on what comparative bikes have already sold for, which is what the OP was asking for.

I’ll have to disagree with you, “what someone is willing to pay” isn’t bullshit it’s what happens when sellers and buyers get together. Lots of factors in play, it’s why I gave the OP such a wide price range.

That's a pretty FatBoy! I miss the looks of the FatBoy seat I had, but not as comfortable as the Mustang.

That's not a bad price IMO.
Not great but not bad either.
I say if you like it enough then go for it.

IMHO, that's a fine looking bike and $4500 isn't that much these days. To me it'd be a no-brainer. Do it.

I agree THC, not giving it away, but decent price for bike and condition
