Message: [QUOTE="JasonJ, post: 197787, member: 23758"] I do it from time to time if I see a good chance. I have a great sopt right on the main road to display the bikes and all I have to do it clean them up and make a sign. Im my findings in my area anyway, the most money is made off older cheap bikes! You can get them running or needing a bit of work or parts, real cheap from yard sales, back yards, the local paper, ect. If it runs and drives its more or less worth $500 on the resale. Any bike over 800 bucks to say 2500 I have problmes with. People either want a dirt cheap trail bike or a new or next to new MX bike so the mid to late 80s bikes dont sell well in the $1000 to $1700 range even though they are great bikes. Latley I have noticed the bottom has dropped out of the used dirtbike market due to many people getting brand new bikes and quads, the good ecomomy last year or two has alot of people buying brand new machienes for there first rides. I had to take some of the bikes I was trying to sell and just keep them cause they were worth more to me as good spare rides than selling below $800. Also, one of the best ways to sell used bikes is to throw em up on your truck and take em out to where you ride and just leave em up ther with the 4 sale on em. A clean bike it a seen bike! People gauk at my 89 YZ 250 backup bike all the time cuase its white and red and all clean and shinny. LOOK out for stolen bikes. Lets face it, most used dirt bikes dont have titles. Dont take a bike if you think it may be stolen. The local cops will see you are always selling bikes and sooner or later they will stop by looking for a stolen one, if it turns out any of them are hot, your out a bike at best and could be charged with recieving stolen good :( .
