I don't know about you, but I think his asking price is just a LITTLE high...

Somebody needs to email that guy and tell him to put the crack pipe down...

 

[raab02]

People must never look at KBB or similar when trying to sell.

 

[Meekrob]

I'll have a three-finger bag of what the gentleman at the top is having....

 

[SDRider]

That's probably what he owes on it. :lol:

 

[BombDigs]

You could have 3 of that bike in your garage for 6k

 

[Endless Mike]

Nah, seems reasonable. Everyone knows SVs have no depreciation at all.

 

[silversx80]

Mine's a 2007 SVS. Maybe I'll trade it in on that Speed Triple or Sprint ST. I might come out ahead.

a few years ago when my ex was looking for a bike a local used car dealer had a very nicely customized Virago 250 for sale, the bike was immaculate, saddlebags, windshield and a bunch of chrome

asking price $5995

I stopped by and asked them if it was a mistake, even told them I could buy a brand new one for $3200, they insisted it was worth the money cause of the extras

 

[jbswear]

I just sent the guy an email letting him know that when NEW the 2000 SV650 was $5995...

 

[jdc48160]

I paid $4000 for my 2005 with mileage about the same, and mine has custom paint, full exhaust, aftermarket headlight, and handlebars.

 

[sdobbs20]

yeah that's a tad high. get a new 09 for not much more.

i'll email him in a bit and tell him i'll give him a third of what he's asking haha.

 

[Zach]

emailed....

 

[alcapwned]

I'll give him $1750.

I'm sure you guys also take the time to email a seller if they have a price that's too low and tell them that they should raise it up if they don't want to screw themselves... :tard:

the difference being, in this case he'll never get a sale, so you'd actually be helping him by letting him know. Whereas, you're implying that people can ask whatever they want. This is a totally different sitaution. I bought my 07 new OTD for $200 more than what he's asking.

we don't have time to do that, nudist will have it paid for and picked up already.

and i'm not "letting him know" anything.

I just want to know what he really thinks this thing is worth.

I bought my '07 SVS new OTD for $50 less.

I hear what you're saying, but the value is whatever someone will pay for it and there are many factors going into it beyond the condition of the bike, geographic/seasonal/population density/etc. I got my 04 new, out the door for just under $5K, compared to me you (and most who bought new) overpaid. Did the dealership you went to overcharge you?

It's a pet peeve partly because the one time I sold something of reasonable value on Craigslist (an outboard motor) I was inundated with BS emails, easily 1/2 of them whining to me that the item was priced too high...but I ended up selling it for exactly what I listed it for and had 2 backup buyers lined up in case the first backed out. The motor was gone in under 2 days.
