Title: Is this a deal?
Post by: dohabee on February 05, 2010, 11:01:30 AM
I found a 2008 gs500f, black and silver with 6000 miles. it has new tires and battery and it is in perfect condition.

The guy will sell for 1900.

The question is do you think I can turn around and sell it for a quick profit?

I know its a good deal for a personal bike but I'm wondering if I could make a quick $500 off it.

You could definitely make a slow $500+ off it if you bought it now and sold it in the spring/summer. This time of year it would be hard enough just to get someone to look at the bike.

+1 to waiting till spring to sell  :thumb: I think you could make a quick easy re-sale at $2500. even let them get you down to 2400.

Good luck! post some pics if you get it  :cheers:

that's kinda what I was thinking, I think I'll skip it just in case I can't sell it right away.

I don't really want to have the cash tied up in another bike for the next 2 months
