My guess is that since last year kinda sucked with regards to scooter sales, dealers want to flush the trade-ins out of the system rather than hold them. As a dealer, the number one priority is "turns". I think individuals know that aggressively pricing their scooters is the best way to sell them. |

Seems most of the private owner listings in my area are way above what most buyers are willing to pay. There is a person who is advertising an 81 goldwing for $3000, probably 1/2 of what it sold for new 34 years ago and I think this will be the 3rd year he posts it never dropping the price a penny.
Most of the craigs list stuff by owners is well over the nada or bluebook by 1/3 and the rest is junk. Most of the dealers on CL won't even list a price so I choose not to look at dealer listings. I think this may be a local thing. I am a little reluctant to bid on an ebay listing especially if it is so far I could not drive over and look at it/

It's the rare find of I've got to move, can't take it and I'm willing to deal fast that eludes me.
I don't even mind putting a wrench to one if it's low enough and not needing more parts than what it is worth to fix it. I've seriously considered doing some quick sale as is fixer uppers if I ran across a deal.

Then there is the "rare" 30 year old bike that only needs a few parts, hasn't been started in 15 years and other than that is in excellent shape at twice blue book! If it is rare I don't even want to see it at all and there are no parts availible. And those who think they can sell it with out a picture or a unintelligible dark blurry cell phone picture.
Either they are idiots or they think we are!

Odd on the Kymco? Very good price, got to be something hidden that's turning people away? |

For a collector, those Gyro's are cooler than shiat.
