Selling a Spyder

[LEEB]

Guys, what's the best way to go about selling a Spyder?

Put it in the for sale thread here.

Hey @LEEB - that bridge is right next to me! Are you far from Smith Marine? Ask them to sell it. See what price they give you.

Interesting! Where is Smith Marine located? This bridge is the Delleville bridge just outside of Duncannon. It was burnt down a short time after this photo was taken. Arson! They are in the process of rebuilding it now.

Have done so already. Thanks!

As Highwayman said above, you can run an ad in the for sale section here.

Pricing will make a difference as the readers here are very astute about it.

The "magic" price seems to be somewhere between wholesale and book value. Many dealers will always try to get book value or more if it is accessorized when they sell it.

Many dealers will also low-ball you if you try to sell it outright or trade it in. Book value is usually from $2K to $4K higher than trade or wholesale.

If you advertise with a "fair" price...you should do well. Accessories usually go for 25% to nothing when being considered for re-sale. Those that try to get their money back...usually do not make a sale. An ad with 500 looks and no bites...usually indicates asking price to high.

Good luck with your sale.
