1988 GL 1500

At $6,250, you're definitely so high that you'll even discourage OBO.

I would not even pick up the phone to call.

Thanks for your thoughts but the correct responce should have been that you will buy it. Ha ha. From the prices of other comparable GL 1500's I don't think I'm that far off on the price. Of course it alway's is perception of if you are the one selling or the one buying.



I sold the 1100 that is in my avitar last Saturday. My brother was the one that rode it and I ride the 1500. It is a nice bike and I may have to just keep it if no one is seriously looking for one Due to the economy, I certainly can't knock any one looking for a great deal on amotorcycle because I am a bargin shoper myself. But I am not going to lose any sleep if it doesn't sale. Ever since I thought about selling them the 1500seems to be more enjoyable and appreciated when I do ride.:action::waving:

Absolutely Justagrinin!. All it takes is one buyer for one bike. The price would be considered fair here in Canada.
Dealing with buyer that use EBay for a reference point is difficult.
This this reason, I do not advertise on boards such as these or Ebay but strictly use local advertising.
Like AZ suggests, use the local price average andthen consider what make the wing different in comparision to the others locally for sale.

Good luck with this!

Will you share some of what you're (smoking or otherwise?).

WELLLLLLLLLLLL
I bought a 1993 1500 for $2500.00.
I think you are way off with your price.
Just my opinion.

How much do you want for it Tommy.

Good luck with the sale. You ask what you want for it and don't let anybody tell you different. You can always come down.



I sold my '88 1500 last April for $6000. Granted, the economy was a little better then. Folks told me the same thing. In fact, a guy took the time to send me a nice pm telling me I was crazy for asking that price and I took the pleasure of writing him back and thanking him for his input...and telling him that the bike had just sold!:cheeky1:



But understand, most folks aren't trying to insult you, just trying to give you a little advice as they see it. They mean well, so just smile and say thanks.

personally, i hope he gets it..that means the economy is getting better:cheeky1:

Well my 2 cents worth....Kelly Blue on it is less than 5300.00 for retail, 3400.00 for trade in. I see most stuff go for somewhere in between. So a 4200.00-4600.00 price would at least get some tire kickers. Most people who are looking for a 1500 are savey about what they're worth. The odds are that anyone willing to pay near the asking price for a first year goldwing 1500 (and the bugs) with that many miles (its not a candidate for a museum) has already been shorn and no longer has the dough to do it. So you might get your asking price, but you might also miss a buyer trying to catch a little bit of this year's riding season and be holding on to it through the winter. Just something to consider. Seems to be a nice looking bike though. Good luck.

Guys are right. All of them. Price is probably a bit too high. Just bought the baby in my avatar ('97SE, 31000miles) in Georgia for a few hundred dollars more than you're asking. Wouldn't have even given your ad a single look. Have to consider the time of year, as well. We're pretty well into out-of-season pricing...
BUT, it only takes one person to come and have a look, fall in love and have to have it. As has been said, you can always come down in price. After it's sold, you can't go back and say you want more because you underpriced it. You should be in the price range of similar local bikes or else you won't get a sniff.
Good luck with your sale. Jeep is not a bad 2nd alternative. Personnally, I'd go with an Austin Mini Cooper SS.

imported post

Nope....definitely go with the Jeep!

And if I had 4000 I'd just about take a shot at it since you're so close to me.

That is a pretty bike charlie, and a great price. You've got me re-thinking the price on my '86.

imported post

charlie, you should have no problem selling that bike at that price. even in todays economy.
