Reasonable Price
I'm helping a buddy out who had found himself in a financial jam. He has a 2007 Heritage Softail, Vivid Black, Screaming Eagle Exhaust, and lots of extra chrome. He's trying to price it for a quick sale, but needs to get reasonable amount of money for it. He had me start the listing at $14,000. I have a Road Glide, and a Dyna before that; never had a Softail. Does that sound like reasonable pricing for a quick sale, don't want to low ball it, but he does need money soon. I know, bad time to sell (especially in Oregon).

Sounds a little high to me! I've seen a 2010 with 4800 miles for sale by private owner for 15,900!! I would put it up for 12,900 and take 12,000!! I purchased my 05 heritage for 11,000 with 4,800 miles along with a 5,000 dollar dream paint job and chrome forks along with thousands in other parts!!..... Just saying......Ohh yea, forget about book value, the bikes only worth what the market allows it to sell for!!!

Too high. If I am looking for a used bike that is 4 years old maybe $12k for a QUICK sale. At $14 K you can buy a new one for a few thousand more. Anyone looking or a used bike is looking for a good deal. The lwoer the price the faster teh sale. When the phone starts ringing the price is right.

Sell high and buy cheap is the secret to a having bike in here. According to most who buy a bike now-a-days..
That's why there is no way I'd sell mine now. I am not going to lose 3k a yr in the 4yrs I've had my 07 and sell it for 12k.
