I have a friend that just bought an 02 Ultra with about $5,000.00 worth of extras. This bike is beautiful, dark red with 45,000 miles and he bought it for $6,000.00. He recently returned to riding after a long lay off and was a little nervous about riding it home so I rode it for him. I was really amazed at the deal he got, also has all the service records from our local Harley dealer.

Florida and Georgia bikes are plentiful and they deal. Be a bit mercenary in your search on CL and others. Look in other areas and use those as a negotiating point. No need to be limited by geography anymore.
Searching by some creative keywords don't hurt your negotiations either: divorce, deployed, baby, 60, 70, health...you get the idea.
Forget about book value. The value is what you agree on with the seller.

I bought my Daytona Blue Limited last Sept from a private party who sunk about 1.5k in accessories, extended warranty, and 451 miles on it for his asking price of $21,500
I couldn't be happier...

What do you all think the following touring bikes are REALLY worth now that the M8 is out? Please post figures that you would pay, not hope for.
- 2001 ultra, 50,000 miles (A)
- 2007 ultra 35,000 miles (B)
- 2010 ultra. 25,000 miles (C)
- 2014 ultra. 10,000 miles (D)
A: 5500
B: 8500
C: 13500
D: 17500
Most over priced bikes just sit with a for sale sign for months. Yes someone might buy it for top dollar if the right buyer comes along but who wants to deal with dozens of idiots and tire kickers. I personally know of a 2012 FLHTK with under 1800 miles selling for 15K and a 2006 Ultra with under 20K selling for $6500.

Barring some pretty significant mods (wheels, bars, etc) I'd say the figures in the first reply are just about right.
Craigslist is the LAST place you'd look for a value of your bike. I've seen borderline scams (that weren't obvious scams) through guys who want more than MSRP.

I believe the MoCo did this because it was used on so many Rushmore promotions. Have no proof, just all adds up.
