The Adventure of selling a Bike
Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2005 3:52 pm
I brought a 82 Yamaha XZ550 Vision at the end of last season for a pretty good price.As an 18 Wheeler killed by 04 Z750.And I hate being without a bike. I did a few things to her and just gave her a spring service with the help of a couple of mates from this very site.So I put it in the AutoTrader and get no calls for the first week.I chap comes round last night puts a $50 Deposit down and says he is going to get the rest of the cash.He calls 10mins later and says he doesnt want it.So $50 for me.I then get a guy come round tonight and says he son may call with an offer.While this chap is looking round the bike another bloke calls and says he wants to have a look at the bike.Very convient I know.First goes away second bloke comes round while second bloke is looking the first bloke son calls and makes an offer not a bad offer but this is Calgary and old bikes are quite hard to find so I so no and tell him the min I would take for it.The second guy over hears that and and says Ill give you a $100 bucks deposit and give you the rest next week.So its semi sold $100 deposit and Bike still in my Garage so fingures crossed it should have a new home next week.Which is good because it is in the Bandits parking spot.
