Sold My Bike To Rumbleon
So,
I found myself riding my 2014 Heritage less and less due to bad knees, sux growing old! I decided to unload the Heritage with an eye towards a trike or a lighter bike. I already had gone to my local HD dealer looking at a used trike, but they wouldn't budge off their lowball trade in offer. I heard about Rumbleon through the internet, seemed like a quick and easy on line selling option. I sent them some pictures and filled out the on line info and had an offer in 20 minutes, for way more than my dealer offered me! I accepted and they e mailed me forms and instructions, which I filled out and Fed-Exed back, along with my signed title. That was a little scary, but being a Nasdaq company I figured it would be all right. 3 days later and BOOM, the money was wired into my account! Now I'm waiting for the transport company to contact me for pickup, but I have to say, so far this whole transaction has been very smooth and by the numbers. Remember, they are buying with an eye for resale, so if you want top dollar maybe look elsewhere. But for an easy, hassle free sale with no tire kickers, free riders, deadbeats, etc. this is the way to go. I will update this once the bike is gone and the deal is done, but so far so good!

Thanks Bro, test rode a Freewheeler and it was fun, but certainly different. Also looking at an Indian Scout, 100 HP and 540 lbs! One more year and I'll be on Medicare, maybe get the knees fixed up them.

I couldn't part with my bike but after radiation for cancer, it took my balance away. I still here guys tell me all the time I would not ride a trike. Well until that time comes you'll never know. I wanted to keep my bike so I converted it to a trike with a Frankenstein Trike kit. My bike sat in the garage the first summer after the cancer treatment it isn't sitting anymore last year I rode it 6000 miles and this year already I have 3500 miles. Is it different yes as much fun, well not it's more fun. You need to learn not to put your feet down.
I tell guys all the time until your faced with never being able to ride again you'll never know what your will to do. For me one ride on a tri-glide and the free style from Harley-Davidson well that was not what I had in mind they were too heavy for me others love them. I triked my Softail custom .

Checked them out for an older bike I'm selling. Low balled me to the extent that they're tripping over them. I have to admit though, in a few more weeks I'll actually consider their offer. Let us know how it turns out for you. I'll be anxious to see if it's as easy as they make it out to be.

OK, I'm back for the follow up on selling a bike through Rumbleon. Everything went smoothly, the hardest part was sending my signed title off via Fedex along with the other documents they provided. What the hell, I still had the bike in my garage, right? They received the package the next day, and one more day and the money was wired into my account. The only wrinkle was with them picking up my bike. I received an e-mail 4 days later saying a transport company would contact me to make an appointment for pickup. That night at 8:45pm I received a message and text from the transport company saying they would be there the next day between 1 and 2pm. Of course, my phone was off so I didn't see any of this until the morning! I called them and complained about the short notice, some of us work right? They apologized but were still coming, they said if I couldn't be there to leave the bike in the driveway with the key. When I said that was crazy the girl reminded me that technically the bike now belonged to Rumbleon so I shouldn't worry...good point! Long story short I made time to be there to wave bye to my bike and off it went. It was on their website the next day and now it has a sale pending notice, zip zip. All in all it was an easy process and I would say if you don't want the hassle of selling yourself this is a good alternative. You won't get top dollar but they did give me way more than my local Harley dealer offered for a trade in, so there ya go. Another satisfied customer, and that's my story.

Thanks for posting this..I had never heard of them.
The bikes they have for sale have realistic prices...I can see myself buying from them.

Looks like the way to go. I've sold 4 cars through Car Max/USAA buying service with great results. All 4 beat the trade in offer by a substantial amount. No screwing around and done deal and only takes a few hours to find out if it's a good offer or not as opposed to sitting in the dealer all day who's trying to give you a prostate exam.
