Sadly the market is so crap at the moment it seems only mint or dirt cheap stuff is selling. I have seen bikes at amazingly good prices that I expect to sell in hours, sit for weeks. If you don’t need the cash I would hold on to it. I have come to the conclusion that my 750ss is beyond my arthritis ability to ride more than 30 miles and I know I should sell it. I see them in worse condition than asking £3000 and I just laugh. Sadly even with rebuilt forks, new tyres, loads of new bits/ fully recommissioned I think I would be more than lucky to break £2200 and probably closer to £2000. For a really good, but not mint 750ss that is a long way down on 18 months ago. I might offer mine as trade for something more upright, but can’t bear the idea of ebay or facebook marketplace to sell it due to the idiots you mention.
Sadly true but you can at least weed out the twats who will waste hours of your time with zero intent of buying. They at least need to make an effort to get pics/ info on their bike and you can weed the 99% of crap out early. I think forums are probably the least hassle, but you are selling to a limited market who are most likely to have at least one thing like the one you are selling.
Good luck mate, I asked a similar question a few months back re mine. Sounds like I'm in the same shall I recommission or sell as is. I couldn't decide so just covered it back up, no intention of riding it. I've no idea what's the best way forwards for your bike, nothing seems to be selling for what we all think they are worth.
They are brilliant bikes , really recomission is the option to go for , I bought the tyres and a battery separately and a very good independent did the work , under the estimated cost . Ride it and then see how you feel and option to sell is far stronger. There decent just to mooch about on for a hour, Have a bit of fun on it
