Title: If the price is right...
Post by: GoateeChicken on October 06, 2009, 08:58:11 PM
Hey, trying to move up to a sv650 and posted up my GS500 just to see if anyone was interested.
I bumped it up about $500 more than it should be right now, just to see if it can sell.

1) that's about $2000 too high for your gs
2) you're selling @ the wrong time of year

drop the price to 2500-3000 if you really want to sell it, wait till spring to do so, and buy your new sv NOW while prices are lower than spring.


good luck :)

Don't forget he's in Canada (same as me). I too am looking at either a SV650S or a Ninja 650r. Torn between the two right now. 

Also if you can swing it like ohgood said sell in spring buy in the winter! :thumb:

Yep, I plan on selling my GS when spring rolls around. Partly because it'll be easier to sell, even though I doubt I'll get much for it then either, and partly because I'd like the time to clean it up a little bit over winter. I'm just hoping if I'm patient I'll still be able to get a good deal on something else not too long after that. If not, I'll just put it off until the end of next summer, at which time I would have been able to save some more money to justify bumping my budget up another $1000 to get something cleaner than what I'm considering now.

I don't think its $2000 over.
I'd say around $800.

I have to sell it before buying something new, so I would have two sell it expensive then buy something cheap.
I dont have enough money to buy something without selling the bike.
So this is the only way to do it, unless I skip a summer of riding. :o
