Got an offer of $15k on a bike I spent $21.7 on last month.
If I were desperate, maybe. Since I'm not, I'll let it set in the garage for now. Someone will be interested soon enough.

I'm not sure you can use NADA or KBB as a guide to what your bike is really worth. Example:
My 2010 FLHXSE (very good to excellent condition) . NADA says low retail $12.2K, Average retail $16K. KBB says average trade in $15.5K, suggested retail $20.2K Anyone out there wants to give me $20K for my 9 year old bike, let me know LOL.

Low offers are one thing, I requested an offer on my wife's bike and my bike. They wouldn't make an offer on her custom Yamaha, too old maybe, 2001. My Dyna offer was $1200...... Even KBB trade in value for her stock bike was $2000, and mine is over $5000. I know they are both worth more than that, and expected something a little less than trade in value. Why would anyone get rid of their stuff that low??? Even in a soft market, half of KBB would be understandable, but 75% of it's value.... really?

Number of reasons one would. Moving, quick cash, not having to deal with tire kickers, getting rid of a headache bike and being dishonest.

Here is something I thought about tho. I was in the process of selling my bike to them and buying one of theres. I had a deposit down and everything. I wound up getting cold feet. I was buying a 2018 RKS with about 2k miles on it. It had tons of aftermarket stuff. Apes, at least a stage 1, seat. It looked awesome. When they contacted me, they said they didn't even have the bike yet and that it would be at their shop within the next day or two. They sent me the condition report the next day, along with some pics. Had the same mileage as what was in the picture from the original owner. They said everything was fine. They didn't test ride it. Beside not test riding it, they have no idea what the motor work has been done, outside of what the original owner told them. I was nervous about the motor work, along with the possible sumping issue that few have. Point being, they had no idea. So I was quite hesitant and backed out. If you look on their site now, that RKS is gone. Was never bought. Not sure what happened to it. But that now have over 100 2017/2018 Road Kings. My guess is that they were rentals. Who the hell knows what those bikes could have wrong with them. I really don't think they have mechanics. Buyer beware.

So what percentage of the people"offended" by the offer that was made purchased the bike they got a quote for brand NEW? I'm guessing most of you are butt hurt because you bought new and didn't expect to take that "hit" when you sell it used. Even more so if your selling to someone you KNOW is buying it to resell it. Get real. That's why SMART people buy used. The market is flooded with great used bikes and I don't give a crap whose nut sack rode it before me. I changed seats anyways......

They bought my 2016 low rider and they were great and lived up to expectations. I did not get anywhere my price even tho I put on sell sites and had NO interested buyers. This Harley was a great bike but a resell disappointment ! No to the butt hole who said "I was crying because I didn't make a profit". Actually I realize Harleys are overpriced and when you try to sell without losing your BUTT, you may lose up to 70% in depreciation on certain bikes ! Next Harley will be a yr. or two old so I don't have to take a Hugh loss on a new bike! Let someone else take the big hit !

No adjustment was needed bike was sold as the pictures represented. I got my check before the pick up.
Price was more than the dealer offered me. I had it listed on several sites without any responses. What I got for the bike I am happy with. It sold the day I accepted their offer. I needed to move the bike so I could move on.
What did you provide picture wise for proof of address and proof of pick up address

Hi everyone. I, like a lot of you, was nervous about sending in the title to my bike to Rumble On. It sounds like some of the scams you hear about online. After reading this thread I decided to go ahead and take a chance and send it to them. And everything worked out. I got an email about an hour after they received the envelope with my docs and had the money in my checking account about 5 hours after that. Oh-yah, was nervous about giving them my bank info as well but I would definitely recommend that over waiting for a check in the mail and then waiting for the check to clear.

So so as long as you are going through the actual site Rumble On, they are for real.
