    I would start locally, advertise in any of the trade papers, Craigslist, ect, like that, then maybe you can get some one close that can come over and drive it away, no shipping and handling! That don't work then reach out further! Good luck!! Sorry to hear you have to set it aside!!

    Make a post on SL for sure. The "magic" price is between trade-in and private party sale. Farkles worth little to nothing. Most of those looking on SL...know their prices and recognize a good deal.

    I just sold a bike using Cycle Trader, very reasonable charge. Sold for asking price in two days and had over 20 inquiries. This is the second time I have used them and same luck on first one.

    I took my Gold Wing trike to a local dealer on consignment. Yes, he got some of the sale money but it was worth it to me not to have to deal with Joe Public coming to my house and then low-balling the price. The dealer put it on Cycle Trader and got what he asked for it… surprised me…. I thought the asking price too high for quick action but it did sell very quickly and the dealer handled the whole thing… sent me a nice check…easy peazy.

    Flood the internet; Craig's List, Cycle Trader, Facebook, etc. Advertise it as potential "fly & ride" with offer to pick up at the airport. That should be a given but the offer gets you a little extra consideration.

    Be reasonable on your price based on current sales elsewhere.

    Include some good pictures in your ads, but not too many. Make sure they are properly oriented (not turned sideways) and not too far away. Remember your potential buyers want to see just your Spyder not half the block where you live. Fill the frame with the Spyder.

    Those who say " I can't" will always be right.

    Generally im not a fan of Craigslist anymore. Too many scammers out there willing to cheat you or rob you.

    I used Marketplace on Facebook. I sold all my motorcycles , cars and boats on this site. Quick responses and some items sold in 24 hours.
