    Wrong, it's a classified, meaning there is no point in waiting

    Your right. Perhaps it's just the culture on TM, that most things are auctions, and thats how people tend to look at anything advertised on it. ??
    Just a thought ....

    You would be better selling all the accessories seperately, your just throwing your money away so take the bike back to standard. Realistically to a buyer the extras on the bike dont really come into the equation no matter how much they cost the bike is only worth the stock used bike price. Sell them seperately. From memory your listing isnt an auction so in theory if someone wants it they wont be waiting till the last day to put a bid in unless of course they think you'll be desperate by then and try you with a ridiculouslly low offer. Dont stress if it doesnt sell straight away just relist. Good Luck

    Yes I have listed the prices of the items, so anyone can see what they are worth. I won't be selling them with the bike unless I get a "sensible" price for them. I've left them on the bike at the moment in case someone wants to buy the lot, but the bike is easily worth the asking price, as has been said.
    I'm not desperate, so definitely won't be sucked in to letting it go cheaply. It's too good a bike, and well set up.
    Cheers.

    Have you thought about making it an auction instead of a classified?

    Yes I may do exactly that, if no one buys it from this add. However, the reserve is still going to be where it is now, as it's cheap enough for a virtually "new" bike. I mean it's setup, and ready to roll !
    Cheers.

    No need to reduce your price, as you've already stated. Stick with your $12,500, have a start price of say $11,000, a reserve of $12,500, and a buy now of $12,700 (play with the numbers as you see fit).

    Dont panic dude. Id almost suggest leave the add off for a couple of weeks untill people are back in buy mode.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Tardme is a dumping ground... ANYTHING over $1000 takes time to sell, be it bike or whatever.
    Your bike is a bargain i feel as probably do many viewing it but at the end of the day $12000 is a LOT of disposable income to fork out for any toy...

    best of luck with it... and if I only had the reddies....
