Re:
We all know the market for selling high end stuff is terrible atm, whether its sports cars, iconic bikes, whatever. I and others just think its respectful to avoid making comments specifically about pricing ‘being off’ on bikes. It has a knock on effect of making ‘potential’ buyers think twice or more about buying ANYTHING. This just makes bikes unsaleable or devalues them so much the seller is left with massive losses IF they have to sell eg a distress sale. Demand Trends, price fluctuations and the realistic values may not always be apparent to non experts on rare bikes. How many people know what a Cunningham typically sells for ?
If that NOS 10th Anni was a m/l it would have sold to me offline. Im still gutted i lost the white one.
This is not an ‘investment venture’. Personally, I expect to loose 20-35% on resale of good stuff and splitting bikes up is a pita but a necessary evil these days. Im just trying to reduce the kicking I get and sometimes help other members out with a little free bump etc
We all have our fav brands, Merlin, Kleins, British made, FATs etc and some just specific models. Vive le difference !
FATs are still the BEST though
Good work on the FAT FS links - more of that please and lets return each others favours in the FS sections.
I did see an ebay asking price of $16500 for a used Fisher Procaliber a few years ago. Now that is taking the proverbial.
Peace out
