Title: So I'm thinking about selling my Cromo...... Post by: rgramjet on November 10, 2014, 11:52:51 AM I have a builder client that's defaulting on a large invoice. Its kicking my butt.
Thinking about selling my pride and joy (other than my kids) but not sure how to value it. I know I'll get the "Blue Book" offers that say its worth $5,500.....I can't/won't sell it for that. Its a very rare bike with some pretty rare parts. DPM reservoirs, Fresco CF conical slip ons with polished pipes and baffles (waited six months for these!), cycle cat triples with 749 adjustable forks to name some. It has less than 10k miles, never dropped. I'll get pics up but am looking for pricing advice. I've never seen another Cromo in the wild other than mine.

Maybe if you hung the guy off the top of the project by his ankles some cash will fall out of his pockets [evil]

More bad news though, your bike will probably be worth more if you pull off the bling and sell those parts individually and put the bike as close to stock as you can. Unless you get lucky and find the perfect buyer, it's only going to bring what the market thinks it's worth. Good luck.

I'm also unsure you could get even the blue book value for it. As rgramjet stated, you would likely be better off putting it back to stock and selling the bling seperately. Best of luck whatever choice you make. Title: Re: So I'm thinking about selling my Cromo...... Post by: ducatiz on November 11, 2014, 04:16:40 PM Ive seen just the tank sell for 2000.

Iz, if I parted it out, I'm sure there will be a curse or hit put on me. I'm busting my ass these days, trying to avoid selling it. Title: Re: So I'm thinking about selling my Cromo...... Post by: Travman on November 14, 2014, 10:03:26 AM Put your bike on EBay and Craigslist. Make sure you cast as wide a net as possible. You are going to need to find the right buyer. Selling a bike is an opportunity. It frees you up to try something new.
