How do I sell a GN250?

[kensuem]

Have had no response to my add to sell my GN.2006,serviced every 5000klm,done 34000 klm,totally reliable,new reg etc,new back tyre and chain.Can't afford to keep it for fine weather riding,and my old bones don't want to ride it in the rain or frosts!!!
Also moving to a smaller property so would like to sell it.$2300.

[crazyhorse]

Try advertising it - places like trademe, KB, local rag. They are sort after purpose bikes, you shouldn't have any trouble sellng it

[sil3nt]

Have you put it on trademe? $2300 sounds about right.

[MaxCannon]

I sold mine for $2200 just about 12 months ago.

I think it took 2 days on Trademe.

Where have you advertised it? I'm surprised you have had no response - there always seems to be a demand for GNs for learners.

Edit: Oh I see everyone else has had the same thoughts! Bit slow on the keyboard today.

Good photographs. A estimate for transport costs to main centres like Auckland & Wellington will also help

[Slyer]

Yes, the fact it's not in a main city like Auckland is a big one, GN's are generally city bikes.

[one fast tl1ooo]

:laugh: good luck with the sale mate

[Lias]

Trademe. Okay it was a few years back now but I sold mine on TradeMe for $2500, and had someone drive up from hawkes bay to hamilton to get it, so the location shouldnt be TOO much of an issue.

Wouldn't that be funny if it's the same guy.

I've got a box of matches............

[dvsfit5]

A gn250 you couldnt give it away mate. sorry

[varminter]

Well, if you want to give it away:Punk: I sold mine to a lady in Ngongotaha a few months back. Don't be disheartened, market should open up a bit as the weather improves.

[Gubb]

I'll take it off your hands for $1500.

Need something for the Missus to learn on. That, and the Striple is way too powerful and masculine for a fairy like me.

how much do you want for the box of matches?

Sorry,not quite that desperate!!!!!

Don't worry,I wouldn;t give it to anyone with so little taste as to live in Auckland!!!

Yes I suppose I could give TradeMe a go,but havn't much faith in it.I have just tried to sell 2 electric bikes on there at rock bottem prices without any success.I have had the GN on Kiwi biker,Trade and Exchange,Sella ,plus local noticeboards,no replies at all!!!.As someone said ,it must be down to location,but i suppose there must be some price to pay for living in the best place in NZ!!!!

[hospitalfood]

I recommend you throw in a free set of tassels, or perhaps some vinyl chaps.

I sold a dingy with a free chicken thrown in, but I had to make them take the chicken?

[MaxB]

Well if you have had no luck at $2300 it might be time to drop the price.

You could drop to say $1999 (& no offers) right now or advertise it in stages and knock 100 bucks off the price each time it does not sell.

If you want more you may have to hang on a bit until things pick up.

Unfortunately I think Trademe is the place where learners will look. I've read your posts over the last couple of years and if I was in the market for a bike I'd buy yours.

[sleeqe2000]

I've just sold my cbf on trademe and got asking price. You have to put a competative price or you will get no bites. Search for the same bike/year and k's and just undercut everyone - thats what I did. If its the cheapest then you'll get interest. Don't be an idiot like alot of sellers on Trademe and ask silly money - its a hard market out there at the moment.

I've spent the last 4 weeks getting texts either wanting to trade for junk or offering well below my asking price. I have just sat it out until the right offer came along and it will eventually.

34,000k's, it may be a mite hard to get your asking price $2300, bikes with only small k's fetch that and slightly more.....Would need to be an absolute minter.....Then it wouldn't make that much diff....

Those sites you did list it on aren't exactly the first place learners look as they have limited numbers of learner bikes listed.

[FROSTY]

sorry to rain on parads--we have sold 2 GN's in the last month-and a gpx250 and a SR250 so learner stuff does sell

[marty]

your bike offers nothing that the other 50-odd GN250's currently on trademe don't. it has higher k's, and $2300 is right in the middle of what they seem to be going for, so expect to have to offer some incentive.

[ready4whatever]

They are cool bikes for going to the supermarket for milk etc. rather have one than a scooter

[Squiggles]

when was the last time you bought a t&e to buy a bike? Sad as it may be, trademe has dominance so use it or you'll end up selling cheap

[1wheel riot]

trad me or the scrapy.hr sorry i cant be more halp

[Insanity_rules]

Sounds like a perfectly good lil bike. I'm surprised it hasn't even been looked at. Try to make your ad stand out a bit perhaps?

OMG my third post in a row with no smart ass comment, I must be losing it.
