There is no way that I would pay $31,909.00 for a used 2009 TG! Granted it has a lot of extras but at resale time, those are almost "give-aways"! just becuase you put into a bike...does not mean that you are going to get it back.I have almost $41k invested in my TG and suspect I will never see anything near that at resale!

If I were interested in this trike, I would not play the e-bay game; instead I would call the seller direct and negotiate a price! I have been successful in doing this with dealers but not quite as successful when the item is for sale by a private party.

It seems that dealers tend to be a little more realistic and not emotionally attached, they just want to make a quick sale!

If I were interested in the TG I sure would call the owner and see what I could do. It sure doesn't cost anything except some time and a phone call.

It probably won't reach the reserve price.

Don't believe it will break 30k. worth more just bad time to sell. Better time to buy!

One of those thing where you need the right buyer to get top dollar. I'm betting it will maybe reach $29k. Now if someone sitting on some cash wants an 09 with some pretty low mileage and they know there is close to 8k in bolt on bling you could see it go for the buy it now of $33k.

I agree that it is a better time to buy than sell and I believe that a ready-willing-able buyer should be rewarded for stepping up to the plate in these tight economic times! Just as dealers play the supply and demand game when inventory is in short supply; now capable buyers are in short supply! This is true of homes, cars motorcycles and most every product you can think off. Cash is king right now!

As far as the TG on e-bay is concerned; my prediction is:
“it won’t sell at this time”!
