As it says, would you sell if someone offered or asked you if you are interested in selling.
I was parked at Bondi this morning, when I got back there was a note scribbled on a napkin.
Gave the guy a call and had a little chat, he sounds pretty serious but I'm not sure if he's talking crap or not.
Anyways conversation went on and I told him a number that I would consider selling for and he says sure I'd be happy to pay
that and take it off your hands.
So the way it sits should I/could I take $26k for it and run!

I totally don't get that. What's the point in buying a pre-blinged bike? What are you gonna do then?

Only if you're ready to sell it. Do you wish you'd asked for more?  I used to get offers to buy an HQ I was driving that I had restored. I took peoples' details and contacted them when I was ready to sell. |

No need to spend another cent is very attractive to many people, especially those who are not technical inclined to replace bits and pieces on their ride. |

Yeah but some people are just happy to take what they see. I'm a little like  at the moment. But that kinda money does make it worth a more serious conversation. |

what would you do with the money? get a new bike and personalize it? do you really want to do that again?
also i had a 78 mustang that was in decent shape, i met a guy who offered me 5k for it which was 3k more then i paid. at the time i didnt want to even consider selling it. then about a year later when i needed to sell it i could get an offer over 2k and at this point it had plenty of bolt on goodies to make it worth even more. so i say if you ever get offered more then what it ever will be worth... take it.

All very good valid points.
Firstly hell yes I'd buy another bike, a Monster would be first on the list but then I've always had a love for another.
Yes it does make me very interested to see if he does actually have $$$ behind those words.
I don't think you are ever really ready to sell a bike, it's either circumstance or that you get a silly offer.

Spot on Matty, Bikes are just one of those things that you're never really ready to part with.
Obviously the buyer is a consumer of finished goods..
I know it's not necessarily about the coins, but 26K is "don't argue" dollars (assuming he has the money).
Interested to see what you decide to do.. Tough choice!

$26k = Air-cooled Monster + Ducati trackbike
Is that enough perspective for you?

Matty ..... if you are happy with the figure and its a real deal than sell it and don't think twice.....take the money and start with a blank canvas. its not a irreplaceable masterpiece. given the funds you can have a identical bike and bling within a month; but why?
sell it if you think that the $26K is a fair amount. you know yourself it's not easy to sell these days
to this day I regret turning down $20K (!) from the guy who wouldn't stop chasing me with a fist full of dollars ... don't make the same mistake
....and if it turns out to be a "bs" than you loose nothing and won't regret nothing either
