e-bay advice

[Don Jordan]

Just a quick question about e-bay.

I have a motorcycle I need to sell. Are there any pointers, ins and outs, pitfalls for selling on e-bay?

Nothing is ever easy.

Kijiji is pretty good around here for local items.

Beautiful bike Don. A late year Bonneville? 650 or??

I would use Ebay as research for pricing and sell it using Craig's List. No Cost, No Hassle of non paying bidders. being in CA and Summer has to be ideal. Good Luck.

it looks like a 69=-70 bonneville 650.

how much? i have a few old triumphs myself. racers. and an XLCR.

that is a collctible bike..ebay will yield the highest. also have you seen Walnecks m/c magazine?

EBay has been on a downward spiral for the last few years. I'd try posting in the motorcycle section of Hemmings.

Regardless of what you are trying to sell the scammers are everywhere and I'd like to know when the 'season' opens, gggrrrrrrr. The only way to not get screwed is to trade cash for title. Stay far away from the email that says anything about a shipping agent.

thats all true wayfarer.....even cashiers checks now are often phony.

i had a deal that sounded really phony..i called the bank that the check was drafted on and they said it belonged to a good customer. was good.

defiinitely cash on delivery.

what is your price.?.................?????????// email

hemmings might also be best. but ebay is a great market test..reserve..
