Why is it so hard to sell a bike?

[ducatilover]

YEP I really think the wording will help ya
REMINDER --I tel this to all sales staff---You only need to sell it ONCE.
number of hits -etc means nothing--what matters is that one buyer.

Cheers frosty, I have updated the auction now I will try and get some pictures up again, but, the computer isn't recognizing the camera [I don't know why] so I will get that sorted, put pics of the rubber and riding gear up.

dc--you need just ONE money shot--the main advert picture.
Of course the others are important too but that one shot is what sells the bike

why is it so hard to sell a bike these days, the last one I sold took 3 days to be gone! But, alas, the mighty spada is not selling. Buy it, am getting a new bike

Yeah, its tough aye - I'm trying to sell my SV - same thing, its probably because its yellow (kidding), nah, its winter - wrong time to sell a bike, but hey, need to buy a house soon....

What ever you do, don't sell the bike for the house. Live on the bike.

Few tips from a pramature
- Less junk in the background, unless you are selling powerpoles, a house and a couple of bikes basically the less, the better.
- Grass is ok but do you have anything better than a stip of carboard to rest it on?
- Low angle pics with lots of sky put the focus on the bike (helps if the bike is a clean though) but can look try hard
- Watch the reflections on the bike, or at least wear clothes (It happens!)
- Like has been said, one (or two) beauty shots followed by details like tyres, odo, damage etc.

It's a bit of wood There is no damage, I shouldn't need to repeat this, it hasn't long been painted. That piccy looks rather pretty!

YEAH, but I have a GSXR too - and I'm happy living on that one at the moment - just abit uncomfortable in the rain and cold, the heater doesn't quite work that well either, and there is no-where to plug in the TV, toaster or kettle. LOL

Sorry, I was speaking generally, lol.
Also the picture looks slightly out of focus but that is probably the camera.
Thanks I'm alot better when I'm behind a camera though!
