Hi all,
I need some serious input / advice. I'm trying to sell my WideGlide but I'm wondering if I've overpriced it.

Can you guys & gals look at my ebay posting & let me know what you think? (I've also put adds on Cycle Trade, Craigslist & the local sites).

Have I overpriced it? If I have, what would be a fair price?

Any & all help would be really appreciated!

 

Price looks right to me, and KBB indicates your price is on target.

Yeah man, if I were in the market for a used bike I'd hit ya up man, seems legit to me.

 

Looks like a nice bike for the price. How long has it been up for sale? Unfortunatley for many...the riding season is closing in and prices will drop. I think your best chance of selling will be local...Park it in front of the harley dealer one weekend. lol Have them give you a buy bid on it just out of curiosity.

If your in a hurry, drop it to $5995. it will be gone...

Good luck, be patient

 

Yeah, it's over priced, that's why it hasn't sold. Everything is over priced, if it hasn't sold.
Now, you gotta ask yourself, how long do you want to have it for sale, vs. how long do you want it sold. Price accordingly.
It's old, very few banks will loan on it, very few people buy old bikes and pay cash, so that's the jam you're in. Nobody else wants to say it, but I will, drop the price 'till it sells. Or, keep it and enjoy it.
And remember, it only takes 1 buyer, you just gotta find that buyer. Nobody knows the bike like you do, and few bikes are worth as much to a new owner as they are to a current owner.
Not to mention, most people think a Harley is only good for about 20,000 miles, so your miles will scare more than a few people. I've got 60,000 miles on my 2003, I couldn't give it away and it's had $2,500.00 in engine work recently, but that's only worth $2,500.00 TO ME !!!
Sorry if I come across negative, but I know what I'm talking about, I've dealt with the public for many many years.

 

You're not asking an outrageous price but it is a buyer's market. There's a ton of bikes out there and I just don't see many people who would pay $6K for a 16 year old bike.

Trade in value is about $4,900. I'd price it at about $5,400 and if it don't sell then trade it in or sell it to a re-seller

 

drop to 5800, it might get some action that way.

 

Thanks all ... including you too, 1badbagger. LOL Seriously, you didnt sound harsh at all, bagger. You spoke the truth & that's what I was asking for in the first place.
Truth of the matter is, I'm not in a rush to sell it at all. It's a great bike that has carried me a many a mile ... I'm just wanting to go bigger with baggage room. I may drop the price down to $5995 & see if I get any bites. I think I'll get the most $$ by selling her outright versus trade-in at a dealership (Ray Price in Raleigh, NC), but it's an option.
Whoever ends up with her is going to be a very happy person. Not saying, she's a cherry, but she's definitely a good ride.

Thanks again for all the good info. It's definitely appreciated.

 

Xscout.....
I'm right beside you in Smithfield, I know a few people from Benson.
You will DEFINITELY get more selling out right. Ray Price can "fudge" the #'s and possibly make you THINK you're getting more trading in, but there's no way on Gods green earth that will ever happen. Dealerships don't even want bikes that old.
Sharp bike, keep it 'till spring, price accordingly.
Or, there's an EXCELLENT chance you can find some guy with a newer bike that fits your bill that is in a $$$ jam and he will take your bike and some cash for his bike.
Give that a shot too !
I hope you get the bike you want,.

 

I like your Ebay ad. "fast, loud, & chrome". What else do you need? LOL. Good luck
