sell
Same reason some of the retailers on here tell you how good there product, then have their friends reply, then you spend more than the product worth mailing it back and forth

I guess that's just the nature of people. If they bought it, it's the greatest and they want top dollar for it when they sell. If you own it and they want it, it's not worth much because it's used. might have something to do with IQ as well.

I seen ads for MC saying I paid X for it new, now I'm selling it for Y. But if you look at kbb or NADA, they are 5k over the value. Those people think that they paid $$ over MSRP, those costs should be recouped. But they shouldn't, doesn't matter what they paid the dealer for it. Especially in this market where people may need to dump their bikes just to pay the bills.

When I was a kid and went to a used bike shop to buy a used bicycle, the guy wanted $20.00 I said it's got a scratch and a broken pedal, he said if it didn't have a scratch and a broken pedal it would be a new bike and I'd be selling it for $40.00 dollars. So that's the way i look at things on here, If they were perfect they would be selling them for more. So I do some research and find what are the going prices and what problems or defects the one for sale has and make my own decision. unless it says "or best offer" then I will make an offer. I'm kinda picky so I usually just pay a few more dollars and buy a new one.
