Looking for bikes...
Call up a seller with a bike I'm interested in
Ask him if how firm on the asking price he is, as I don't wanna drive ~1 hour if I'm wasting my time.
Tells me he has been offered $8.5k by Peter Stevens for it so he's looking for between that and $9500 (asking price) from a private buyer. I ask why wouldn't you just take $8500 from me if you're only gonna get that from them anyway? Goes on about wanting to get a bit more coz he knows they'll sell it for more if they're paying $8500 for it. (Doesn't make note of the fact they give 3 month warranty, 12 months rego, RACV roadside assistance etc)
So today I ring PS, ask how much they'll give me for an 08 CBR with 6000kms in immaculate condition
'Between $6-$7000..'
Nice try rookie
