Test rides selling question

[Gremlin]

possibly not the best time of year to be selling though?

Any time of year, you always need a buyer that wants what you are selling, so even though the price is fantastic, if it's not what people want, then to a certain degree, the price is irrelevant (ignoring that some may switch because it's a freaken bargain).

Often you'll try to sell something for x, not sell, but a little while down the track you sell it for more, simply because of timing.

Only problem with that is that you're meant to carry your licence. I check the photo and let them know I'm taking a copy.

Rather hold the licence myself. On the off chance they are asked to produce it I'm sure Police would be reasonable given that I would confirm the circumstances.

You're selling it cheap already.

If my bike got written off tomorrow I'd snap it up at $8k and giggle for months.

The question of how long to hold on vs. how soon to get rid of is a tricky one but I'd hold out a bit longer if you weren't about to be paying interest on some debts or similar.

It's a tasty and desirable bike. I'd be all over it if I wanted it, you've just gotta wait for a real buyer.

I hear what you're saying, serious buyers are few and far between it would seem. First auction there were 28 watchers and three bidders, this auction there are 27 watchers and 1 bid...
Sent a fixed price offer to 14 of the 27 watchers and it has been accepted...one phone call from way outside the area who was willing to come up and buy the bike next week.

So how did/are you handling the test ride situation?

Have yet to, but the bike sold last night, buyer has been in touch and will arrange a view. The rego is on hold, I could leave it on hold until I see the money, that way I can say no to a test ride because the insurance (still being paid) will be void if something goes wrong and not rego'd right?

Is it finalized? Pm sent.

Buyer wants to see the bike and has no problem putting the money into my account on Wednesday, well shall see, I still have not spoken to the buyer, email only, which is kinda weird but, each to their own.
