Sellers that are cocks!

I know little about dirt bikes, but they both seem remarkably low km for their age - would they have had the speedos taken off for dirt riding? Or is it just that dirt bikes don't get ridden so far?

As for the price difference - you prefer the KTM yourself, so you'd presumably pay more for it. I guess it's reasonable to think that others will prefer it even more? KTM does seem to be the 'in' brand at the moment.

If you think they're close enough to the same spec, why not just buy the vastly cheaper one?

Because the cheaper one is where I see the market atm....And its in Nelson and im in Waihi...If it was closer I would have it already..But the KTM is closer so Im trying to focus on it.

I would hope the owner of the KTM sees his bike the same as the TE510...And then price his bike right.

Buy some of the comments already on this site it sounds like my offer was on the money ! !

Offer $500 less than your fair offer on the KTM tonight.

Offer $500 less on Friday night.

Offer $500 less on Saturday night. If he hasn't had any other interest there is going to come a point where he either decides to keep it or offload it before Monday.

Either way, if you can find out where he lives you can go and nick it on Tuesday

I like your style....And I do know where he lives....

$5200 cash

BINGO.....Thank you Sensei ! !

I offered $5k and left the offer open untill he leaves on Monday, I told him if he gets a better offer please take it...But if he dosn't I will collect and pay this Sunday.

I know of a person on KB that brought the same bike for $7500 2years ago...And he got two sets of wheels with his (One set off road one set Motard) And a bucket load of spare parts..

Motard wheels alone would be worth $2500....So wheres this guy coming with $6700 for his bike ? ?

I know and there was some silly young nob jockey on here recently trying to sell his old r6 for some rediculesly high coin

I know Steve, its getting stupid ! !

Crazy Steve.

[Crazy Steve]

Let me guess, you offered him $1500?

No ! ! I offered $5k as my starting offer...Im perpard to go higher

How much would of you offered ?

Crazy Steve.

I would have thought that $5k or low $5k's would be a pretty fair offer for the KTM in the present market Steve.

Thanks Brett.....

I have told the dealer I will take the TE510 at this stage (Which was the other bike I was comparing the KTM to)....So the guy with the KTM can take his bike to aussie with him....120kgs of orange handle luggage anyone ? ?

I still see no reason why he is a cock. Just like everyone else, he wants to get the most for it, you want to pay the least for it.
Look at it from his side he might think you are being a cock.
he will have set a high price to work backwards to get the price he wants.
Normal selling practice.
If you want it, buy it, if not go somewhere else.

yep under the new govt initiative, you can type in his rego to the database, and presto, there's his address.

The main reason he is a cock because he is damaging the second hand market, and hes wasting My and other people time listing it..

If everyone over prices there bikes on trade me how will anyone know what a fair deal is ? ?

If this is what you believe WTF even look at it.

[Taz]

A fair deal is when what you are willing to pay matches what the seller is willing to accept. It's really simple .

I want to buy a road registered motocross bike.

Im currently looking a these two flavours..

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=302490078 TE510 05 $4500ish

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=323160761 KTM525 05 $6700ish

Now the guy selling the KTM is off to Aussie this Monday so he needs to sell by then.....

So one would think he hasn't sold it yet, I might get a good buy as the Market is truely dead ! !

Now I see both bikes above very simalar in Kms/Age and style...Problem is they are $2.2k difference in price.

What would anyone here offer the guy with the KTM ? ? ( or what would you think would be a fair price ?)

Crazy Steve.

Part one.

So, basically, it seems that if a seller's estimation of value on their own bike does not line up with the price that you want to pay, they are automatically a cock?
hmmmmmm. Not sure i agree with that mentality. If you came along and offered me 2k less than my asking price on a 7k bike, id tell you to fuck off, and Id think YOU were the cock.
whether you wanna pay 7k for it is irrelevant, he wants the best sale price for it, just as you will when youre done with it and want to sell it on.
based on this post, and your comments recently in another thread, of someone who was trying to sell a bike (that you werent even interested in) Id like to request that, if you ever see me selling a bike, that you just stay away, cos I sure as hell dont wanna deal with ya!
