2. We're slowly but surely moving towards the off-season for motorcycle sales. People might be less likely to get into a bidding frenzy.

Anyway, what have you got lined up as replacement Quasi?
Well to be perfectly honest it has always worked well for me but I know what you're saying. People always worry about it, in case they have to part with their valuables for a lesser price.

You have to take some time out and arrange for people to see the bike and get it done once and for all, instead of advertising it for weeks. (That itself is a hassle). I look at it as get it done with and be over with it.

The other thing you have to bear in mind in Quasis case is if he waits around for another summer then his bikes value goes down and it will effectively be 2 years old with 09 models coming out at the end of the year.

Rego, warrant, insurance ect...it all adds up at the end.
