Without even knowing what it is, your price is too high. Price is what sells everything.

Dealers won't give anything on trade either. They offered me $7800 for an '07 Wideglide with 6000 mls. trade on Ultra Limited. Needless to say I still have the Wide Glide.

Sign of the times, the dealers are having a hard time selling anything also.

Its the economy guys, unless my math is off nearly one in ten folks are out of work. Wife and I had the house on the market for three months, one looker. We realized prices have been depressed and priced ours accordingly. We had hoped to take "advantage" of a depressed market and low interest rates. Took it off the market a month ago. Unless you have to sell it, it may be better to wait a few months.

It took me 8 months to sell my bike,some guy drove past it in front of the house.He bought on the spot. I had it on e-bay,craigslist and a forum.No bites on all three.I took a beating on it,but it's finally out of my way.Price sells everything.
