Default I need help with pricing

I am helping a neighbor sell her husband's trike. He passed away a few months back and now she needs to unload his possessions. He has a 1994 Ultra that he had converted into a trike (Lehman). The bike has 28,852 miles and has always been kept in excellent condition. I am not looking for an exact price that she should ask, I am looking for a ball park figure on where she should start. The bike has a custom paint job in Blue Knights blue and white. Thanks for the help guys

if he was a blue knight, you should start there. they have an unbelievable network and could probably help you sell the bike fast. a 94 lehman conversion with 28000 miles is a very difficault bike to price. if i had to put a retail figure on one i would say somewhere around 12,000-13,000 grand

I was thinking she should start with around 11,000 and see where it goes and what she gets offered.

make up a flyer with asking price, and a handful of pics when you figure it out.. like a word document. i will hang it at the precinct, as we have quite a few riders, and blue knights. i'll also hand it out at the local BK club for you. there are a few local guys looking at trikes.

best of luck.

That's what I thought, but maybe start at 12k you can always come down.

P.S. Good on you for helping her out, I can relate, buddy died two years ago and I'm still selling stuff for his wife.
