I was on my 1995 Monster 900 this morning at the gas station when this 50's something guy with dress shoes, white pants , and a purple silk shirt walks up and tells me " I am a very savvy collector of Ducati's" I said "that nice, what kind of bikes do you have?" He then says "I know what i am looking at and with todays market I am prepared to offer you $9500 cash for your bike." I started laughing my ass off, and said "no thanks" He said "I know you paid around $20,000 for it, but it lost 1/2 its value the second you drove it off the lot." iIcould not take it anymore I had to walk inside to get away from this clown. As I was leaving the guy yells from his 80's BMW "an opportunity like this only comes by you once in a lifetime." I smiled and said "I will probally regret it." I then had one of the best rides of my life! [thumbsup]
Show me da money!
If douche wants to pay 2-3 times current value, that's on him
Caveat emptor

Maybe would have been a good financial decision, but then he'd have missed out on this:

Check? Cash, or walk, pregnant dog! I'da sold it, too.
this guy was full os $hit, he didn't have any money...he just wanted to impress someone.
I think he missed the mark! [laugh]
cash? I'd have taken it...
but then again, I'm easy that way
id taken it and called his bull shit out and then offer him 4500 for his BMW cause its old. :)
in some way, somehow, this was gonna be a scam.
probably was smart that you walked away.
He was waiting for his inheritance from his rich Nigerian Prince Uncle of $17 mil, so am I, I just emailed them my bank account numbers, and am waiting impatiently for the check to hit my account.

If the guy had cash in hand I would have not only sold him the bike I would have talked him in to buying my boots for $500. They are two year old Alpinestar! Aren't they Italian also! Vintage year!

I have been looking for this Monster for a long time. I love the red with bronze frame! My bike has ultra low miles, and great mods! This bike pulls like a freight train...the Fast by Ferracci dyno sheet says 79 hp at the rear tire!!!
lol, ok :P

Slap a Ducati decal on a $6 bottle of wine and sell him that for a $100 as well.
