So has the used market finally dropped dramatically?
#131
It's definitely a buyers market here in Arizona. The used bike market is dead. I'm seeing clean low milage Harleys from the 90's through 2010 that are listed at thousands less than a year ago and they're not selling.
Wording in the many of the ads are:
"taking any reasonable offer", "must sell", "need gone this week" and "need money".
The main stream media may be saying the economy is as good as ever, but my eyes, 401K and checkbook are seeing different.

While not the case on this last bike, I wonder how many are upside down. Seems people think they only rode it 5-10,000 miles it should be worth 30% more. I like garage queens, but there is a limit on how much that adds to a realistic price.
Maybe I’ll look in Arizona and see what is selling. Im not going to buy one there, but just get an idea what’s happening price wise near you.
Added: Just looked. There are a lot of Apes down your way. Not a fad up here. Prices not too bad.

Speaking of used bike prices, what say the group on what I could get for a 2020 Fat Bob with <4,000 miles fully farkled with motor all stock. Paid to much then tossed in ~$5K worth of bolt-ons. (That's water on the driveway after washing not a leak. lol)
Calif-Fat Bob you'd be luck to get:
A = $16K ish
B = $14-$16K
C = $13-$14K
D = No one rides Fat Bob as the are a Harley abomination keep it.

I know it's winter. But I'm currently in California. No winter. People still ride around. Was thinking of putting my bike for sale.
But I can't help to notice that bikes that were going for 12k ,or so, a year or two ago are now struggling to sell at 9k.
Is this the used market finally coming to its senses? For a few years there, I thought I was holding on to gold with this bike lol.

No. When real GDP rises, that means that output is up after accounting for the effects of inflation. Economists never use nominal numbers, and so the effects of inflation are always removed when they discuss GDP. Real GDP is the highest it has ever been in the history of the data.
