So (cough cough) what's the best way to sell my 2003 RTP

Sigh....

I really hate to do this post, but I'm at a point in life where I need to sell my 2003 RTP. I'm finding it an emotional thing, considering all the good times I've had with it.

However, my age/physical condition is telling me it's time.

[trying not to choke up here]

I need some advice please. Whats the "best way" to sell it? ~ 103K miles on it.

I have a lot of tools and accessories also. Maybe the Classifieds on the forum?

Just like to give a good home to someone who will actually ride it.

Craigslist or yes, post it here in the classified section. Sorry it's time to sell, sounds like you really enjoyed the bike.

Sorry to hear about your sad decision. Another sales resource is http://marketplace.ibmwr.org

The best way to sell your bike is,

price it properly.

The emotional ties and baggage don't have value to a new owner.

Set a fair price.

A price that garners interest.

No interest.

Lower price.

This isn't about ROI. It is about selling a machine.

BTDT.

I can relate.

Honestly. 15 years old.....over 100k miles.....put it up on craigslist and or facebook marketplace cheap. I can't imagine you would find any long distance buyers for that age/mileage. Anything over about $2500 and you would be kidding yourself regardless of condition. If you want more out of it, take it apart and deal with parting it out. I fought the same battle with my 1100RT when it was time. I decided to part it out, but I had a lot more free time back then. If I had to do it now, I'd list it for $2500 and take any reasonable offer from the first guy that actually shows up to look at it and isn't a PITA.

Best of luck. Sorry you have to part ways with it. Hope you are looking for smaller/lighter, and not hanging up your gear.

Painfully good advice!

OK, is sold.  Back to the Grand Rapids, MI dealer who I bought it from.  Blane has always treated me right.   See my posting on Classified / Parts for a few tidbits I'm getting rid of. 

It took three years to sell? Or it took three years for you to let go?

Good question.  Three years to let go.... 

A sad day.
