ad isnt there... but either way 1800 is damn pricy...

i spent 700 on a MINT 5000 mile one... not trying to be douschy, its just that a lot of guys (myself included) hate to see people trying to sell these bikes for more than they are worth (hell, they didnt even cost that much new!).

I would pay 1700 bucks MAX for a cb350... and that would be for a 1969 CB, or better yet, a 69 SL 350... early cam, dual down tubes, and no electric start.
 
i don't understand why people get upset when they think something is priced too high.

first of all, bikes sell for different prices in different areas. i see this all the time on the cx forum. there are plenty of people in parts of the country that don't understand paying more than 500-700 for a working cx500... where others couldn't get one for lower than 1200 because of the region they're in.

second, something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. so you can't sell something for more than it is worth. now it night not be worth as much to you as someone else, but it is worth whatever the market will bring. you find this out by putting the product out there and seeing if there are any bites.

third, what's the big deal if someone sells something for more than YOU think it's worth? upset they got a better price? upset someone might have gotten "taken"? in an age of internet, there really isn't much of an excuse for someone to get "taken". also, if enough people sell the bike for more than YOU think it's worth it just drives up the value of your bike. is that such a bad thing?

OP, good luck on the sale. it's a tough market out there and tough times. i hope you get all you can for your bike. and i hope the other person pays you as little as they can. that's the goal of every buyer and seller out there.
 
Deans right. Here in toronto, 1800 is on the high side, but its not unreasonable. Its pretty hard to find any vintage bike for under 1000. Not saying they arent out there, but they arent the norm. And when you find them, theyre usually trashed. 1800 bucks, if its mint, isnt crazy. Ive seen guys selling CB750F's on craigslist, with blown motors, for 2k. And people buy them ???

But then again this site isnt really the market for a mint vintage bike at fair market value. Doesnt hurt to advertise here cus you never know who might see it, but it probably wont sell to a dtt member. Itll sell to a hipster kid on craigslist.
