Hi Tony, That's quick! Gone in 3 days is great. Thanks for the 5-star review and lets hope the buyers is as happy with the bike as you were with the sale. -Alex

when I first listed this bike a couple of months ago. the first 3 responses were scammers. from that bad experience I paused the add. when I reactivated the add I realized that any enquiry that was e-mail or text only wanting to pay through PayPal is generally a scammer. so 'do not respond'. Only those that actually phoned and would physically come to the house to view, and would need current identification. The negotiation could then start from there. which resulted in a successful sale.

Just a greedy business whose prices keep going up while marketplace and gumtree are free. Both times I sold, I sold on marketplace and gumtree. These ones are a waste of money

Patience is always a good thing when selling something which is in good nick. Bikesales is a good source of advertising media to sell a motorcycle which is in superb condition and when all paperwork is in order it makes any sale so much more easier.

The fact you have to pay for the ad…
The fact you have to pay for the ad means that GENUINE sellers advertise on carsales and bikes and boats. And genuine sellers mean genuine buyers. I believe buyers do a lot less browsing (like they might do on gumtree or Facebook marketplace) and more do directed searching

I had my 2018 BMW GSA 1200 bike advertised on bikesales for 8 months before it sold under extremely strict covid conditions, located in Melbourne to a Brisbane person unseen and unridden by him. Under these conditions it is not possible to travel further than 5 km from home, leave home for pleasure rides or drives, we have a night curfew and the sales market is totally deflated but I continued to receive enquiries from bikesales local and interstate.
Previously I have sold cars on Carsales and I consider it the only place to advertise vehicles in Australia. I also had it advertised in the Trading Post for 7 months and did not receive one enquiry, the Trading Post is absolutely pathetic and I definitely do not recommend it.

Hi Mark, It's great to to hear your bike found a new home. COVID-19 has definitely provided some more challenges for our buyers and sellers, in particular in Melbourne. Thanks for your support. -Alex
Selling bike at Bikesales.com.au
Bikesales.com.au seems to be the best place to buy/sell the bike.
Hassle free, privacy protection if you need it, and lot of (not all) genuine buyers.
