Where Are We Buying and Selling Bikes? was created by amgems

Been away for a few years. Where are we buying and selling whole bikes (Yamaha Enduros of course) these days. Ebay? Cycle Trader? Others? Thx!

I would advertise here and on Facebook.  eBay has ridiculous fees these days, they take over 12% of the first thousand, it goes down after that, but still too much.

Craigslist is also good, lots of people here monitor that all over the country.  I'm trying to sell my 1957 Matchless right now and using websites where people with like interest look is a great way to go.

Sorry, I have been corrected by a good friend, there is a flat rate of $99 for motorcycles but the buyer does have (I'm told) 6 months to get a refund.

this is a family friendly site...  "buy" is okay to say but "sell" is a four-letter word!

If you do not have several unfinished Yama-Projects sitting in wait, you really could expire early. But because there are so many projects’ in the pipeline’  “you’ve more than tripled your life expectancy’ because nobody wants to have everything buttoned up’ at our ages.

Yup’ Asco just said that!

Thanks guys! In Arizona now, retired. I won't use the "s word" so as not to get in trouble, but I "was disconnected" from my '71 360 a few years ago. Beginning to think I need another one. Will look at the places suggested.

Amgens, I moved from Moorpark, So Cal to Flagstaff, AZ in March, 2020 hoping to retire.  I am almost there, I am still doing insurance for my company part time.

I have a 1971 360 that I have never thought about selling, but... everything is for sale for a price.

That is a very nice bike! I'm in Camp Verde. Moved here from Poway CA 2 years ago. I see you have a KTM 500. I have a 2018 500 EXC-F. Not riding right now. Having Carpal Tunnel surgery. Few more months. I haven't even discussed buying a new bike with the wife yet. Guess I should bring it up.

My 360. Sold it a few years ago:

So, it's the seller that pays the fee on ebay?
