Default testing the water - sell 2009 250s

I am wondering how the sale of a used bike is going and where is everyone having the best luck
local paper
Craig's list
Ebay

mine is a green 2009 250S with about 600 miles and all stock except for a 2 bros slip on pipe

what price range are clean used ones going for?

thanks for the info

Only info I can give is I sold a TRX400EX Honda ATV it was a 2005. I sold it from craigslist in 4 weeks for $2900. I felt that it was about $400 below its real value.

The tough part was getting someone to finally come and look at it. The first one to actaully look, wanted it. and bought it for the $2900 without further haggling... So, that must have been the "deal" price... who knows.

Maybe I needed to be more patcient to get its real value, or maybe if I let it sell then I might still have the darn thing...
Either way... Glad it is gone.

My Brother is on the lookout for one and we are waiting to swoop in on the deal.
Are you in So Cali?

Good luck.

Well from a buyers perspective I did a lot of looking mostly on Ebay and determined I did not want to pay more than $3500 for a stock 09. I bid on one in california with 190miles on it and put in my max of $3500 and let it ride did not check up on things. It went for $3,550
I had my sites on a red one and saw several green ones go from $3400 to $3800. I saw a red one with a lot of extras on it including the 330 kit(I had allready decided I would upgrade the stock with a 351 from bill blue) So I bid it up to $4000 and am happy with the deal.
For reference when I was shopping there were several dealers with new 09's going for around $4500 buy it now price.
So in conclusion I would say ask $3500 for it or better yet keep rideing it.

Thanks for the info. The bike is located in Wy and I think I will try the local paper first, then move to craig's list and then ebay. I hate ebay and want it to be my last and final choice
