I learned a pretty valuable lesson while having my motorcycle listed... DO NOT believe people are going to do what they say.
Usually I can feel out a buyer based on how they respond. If they respond back pretty quickly they seem like a more solid buyer. Anyways, I had one of those buyers come buy to look at the bike. He mentioned he would be getting a loan for the bike and he was already pre-approved, so I figured all was well.
Later that same day, I had 2 other buyers send interest in the bike, but I told them this guy was going to be purchasing my bike. Two days pass and still no check, so I reached out to both of the other people interested and they had already purchased other bikes, dammit. Four days later this dude says his bank messed up and processed the loan as an auto and something about he couldn't get a bike loan for my specific bike. What the fuck.
Anyways, always require a deposit if someone wants you to hold something for them. Pisses me off because I had already found another bike I wanted, Grr.
Where are some solid places to list a sportbike for sale? Currently I have it here(nothing sells on this board it seems), ls1tech, and craigslist. Any other places that would get local attention and doesn't require X amount of posts?
