  1. The chances are The BS will probably only offer you sale or return, like most of their bikes.

  2. I too have a fender strat and a Gibson LPj I wouldn't mind shifting. They are both popular and common as dog poo. Too many made and not worth more than I paid for them. On the flip side limited edition rarities can be hard to sell. Wait for the warmer weather then see, Stuiebikes.
     
  3. I just sold a Johnny Marr Jaguar for more than I paid for it new in 2015.

  4. It’s not the Joseph Heller limited edition Stratocaster, is it?
     
  5. Just wondered how many catches you need to undo to open the box, I’m guessing 22?

  6. There’s no harm in that really. It works for both parties and at least it’s in front of the right audience, and marketed widely via their socials.

  7. I’d say the Honda could sell for a sensible amount, there are a lot of older riders who had one in the past and get a hankering to relive their youth and have the funds to make it happen (I’d probably fall into this group). This explains the crazy values being asked for
    70’s and 80’s ‘classics’.

    Sadly my wife is of the opinion that one bike in the garage is sufficient and if I wanted a classic then the Multistrada would have to go (not happening).

    Good luck, once you get good pictures and a full history of the bike then I’m sure places like this forum and the Honda owners will be interested or at least be honest if you are asking too much.

  8. Have you seen the price of Yamaha RD 500's lately? Its an age thing. Also a recent auction I attended last year, 90's Motto Guzzis' are on the way up, surprising!

  9. Do you mean travel case ? Or some other box?
     
  10. Thanks and it would be great to get honest opinions.
     
  11. Thanks that might work I'll see what my Dad wants to do. Hopefully he can sell them privately with a bit of a hand.
     
  12. I believe it's the Erwin Schrodinger limited edition Fender Stratocaster

  14. Thank you I'll wait to see how my Dad gets on with photos etc and go from there I do appreciate all the helpful comments and members here. You never know he might offer me the 998 I read another member who was selling their bike and gave it to their son in the end ha

  15. Good luck, I've not sold a bike since about 1995 - crashed them / traded them in, or just kept them. Not sure how it is with bikes but cars are an effing nightmare with all the parasites and morons that creep out of the woodwork. Last couple of cars I've just run them into the ground and scrapped them / sold them cheap / scrap value to a FB group (Alfa)... I would dread starting to sell some of mine but I might have to think about it soon as in 10 years from now...
     
  16. Yeah I know what you mean about cars. Same as you try to just keep them running. Can't be bothered with the hassle
