Selling bike - Which bike shop gives best price?

[PepperCrab]

Hey guys,

In your experience selling your bikes to shops, which shops give the best price for your bike without trade-in?

 

I'm not looking to buy a bike so won't be trading for a new bike, just want to sell.

 

Thanks!

I think its better to go down with your bike, let them take a look and give you a quote. If you don't ask, you'll never know. They all want to see bike condition before giving a price.

Depends what bike, coe how long, got accessories or not (Brembo, ohlins etc). Shop doesn't really care if your bike is tip top condition or simply running, as long can start, can go can already. That one is up for the next buyer to assess.

Agreed....

 

Selling direct to seller is best case scenarios but need to invest time to entertain buyers etc.

Selling to shop definitely lose money cos the shop need to think of profit margin when selling it also mah.

 

also, you will only get a good price from shop if you are trading in for something more expensive.

Very very true .

 

We were just chatting and I casually mentioned that I was thinking of selling off my bike . Bikeshop immediately asked me to sell to him and quoted me $800 -$1000. I immediately knew it was not a good deal as I could easily have sold it off for $2000 . 2013 400cc dragstar left 2 years COE . Chrome condition nice . Many parts changed . So you get the idea .
