Default Witch one would you buy

I'm getting ready to list my bike on Craigslist. Which way should have it, full seat and sissy bar or solo? I will post both pictures but what way to have it sit up to sell best?

Witches usually ride brooms which means they probably won't be interested in a used Harley.

I'd list it as a solo but also put in there that you have the extra stuff available as well. You can sell the parts off on eBay or Craigslist as is and make a few bucks. But if you just throw them into the deal, you wont make anything extra for them. Expect to only get about 50% of their value anyway...so maybe he can offer them to the buyer for that or a little less. You'll get a convenient sale and he'll get some cheap parts.

I know when I sold my Sportster last year on Craigslist I sold it for $1500 more than any dealer would give me in trade in value. And I was able to hold on to a few parts and sell them on eBay to make a few $$$ more. Good luck!

Hey now, my wife is a witch - a good witch - and she's looking at a late model Deluxe.

Oh yeah, and she does have a broom.

Yeah - the solo set up looks cool and the pic with passenger seat and sissy abr says "you won't have to buy any extra crap right off."

Why not use the solo setup as your primary pic and the other as one of the additional pics? You can get 12 pics for minimal cost. IMHO if selling a bike sight unseen on a national site like Ebay motors, the more pics you have the better your chances it will sell.

Show both pictures or if just one do the sissy bar. Anyone can make the bike a solo but you dont want to buy extra seat for the wife and sissy bar.

Both pics. If you use photobucket copy and paste the html link under the direct link option used for the forum and you will get huge pics in your ad as well.
