PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I've made some pretty decent money selling privately. I've also got some real good deals on sleds and bikes. I buy sleds in the summer and bikes in the cold weather. I sell sleds in late fall and bikes when its been warm again for a week straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volunteer2 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Kijiji you have to love it I always seemed to get the Tri Ader and Penny Saver and was too late getting the deals . My one buddy seemed to get the Tri Ad early and was scooping deals, never forget that and we still laugh about it. I always say to people that want to advertise is say No trades and stuff like that but I like the advice of negotiating in person, that's a good idea. I've had real good luck selling and buying with Kijiji , I try and be a realist with the pricing. But yes you need some patients, Serenity now Serenity now Go Team Canada Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's making a bunch of money at it but is doing it like a business. He doesn't have a regular job so has the time to invest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I've got a bunch of stuff I don't need but at the same time I don't need the aggravation or the money bad enough to go through the BS of trying to sell it on Kijiji. Yard sales are another crazy thing. I'll never do that again. When my mom passed away we had to empty out the house. We had a yard sale every Sat and Sun for 4 weekends in a row. Everybody wants something for nothing. We had a decorative china plate for $1. I was frustrated when a woman offers 5 cents. I told her rather than give it to her for 5 cents I'd break it so that's what I did. She says why did you do that I really wanted it. Couldn't have wanted it that bad at 5 cents.

My wife and her two sisters do a yard sale every summer. Same thing, people will try to get a $2 item for 25 cents. Wifes older sister gets pissed off and will tell them to leave.

Others do arrive and then try to low ball you and they aren't even in the ball park. I sold a 9.9 Merc outboard a few years ago. It was a 2 year old long shaft and there were few around, mainly short shaft. I believed I had it priced very fairly. Guy came out and spent an hour telling me how it was vastly over priced and offering peanuts trying to get me down. I told him at the time I would go down $100 but that was it. He left. A couple of weeks later he comes back. He'd been trying to find one without any luck. He wasn't happy when I told him the price was set and I wasn't moving. It was my original price. He wanted the $100 less I had originally offered. That was before he wasted an hour of my time. He paid the full price. Its work. Thats why there is money to be made its not "free" to buy and sell things it takes work which is time + effort. Work hard, earn more. Thats how I see it anyways if this process frustrates you wholesale items off to dealers. If you want top buck you have to work for it. If you want easy price it cheap. Simple. As for the kahjee gee? Theres a lot more tire kickers out there because its easy to post an ad, and its even easier to inquire about one. If anyone is serious they come and see it with cash in hand. Sellers have no choice but to weed through the tire kickers to find that one buyer, because it only takes one. As for prices? People must not be that hungry I guess.

manotickmike Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Open, or sealed? I love the trade ideas some people come up with, especially when I make clear in the ad "Price is FIRM, not interested in offers, or any trades at this time, thanks! NO delivery is possible." Jebus, SELL your X-box and street bike, and then you'll have something somebody other than YOU might be interested in! I actually BROUGHT something ( it was a guitar...) to someone who was unable to drive to come see it. I could relate, as I bought the guitar when I was in recovery from an accident, and couldn't move, let alone drive. I got there, and despite a few messages, and a phone call, he tried to lowball me in his living room. Like I was going to give it away, after investing the time to deliver it. He further negotiated as I had my back to him. I countered his offer of full price by slamming the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micar Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I’ll trade you four tires and rims from a Ford F-150....um no. I drive a GMC and it has 6 tires. You can sell them and use the money....Erm you can facking sell them and bring me the cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupkids Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 What do you guys thing a 99 ZRT 600 is worth. It runs good but needs some TLC in the looks dept.

Sksman Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Dealers were blowing out 2018Artic Cat 8000 this month. Under $10,000. Hard to look at a used 2017 and 2018’s for 11 or 12,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylaker Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Yes, country corners always have new sleds on blow out prices for $10k. Pretty damn good for a new sled. Depending on what Yamaha comes out with in February, I may end up switching to cat in the future for this reason alone. Country corners always has the best pricing around. I’ve also seen aberfoyle cat put on some pretty good deals...but not as good as CC. I saw a 2016 Yamaha rtx se for $13k on kijiji tonight. I bought the same sled about 4 months ago for $8500. He’ll probably never get $13k, but most guys start high and get offers to what they really want for the sled anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at those and had me wondering....but then quickly recalled the mileage I have only put on the last couple of years and really does not make any cents, as much as I would like a different sled. The prices also had me wondering what must be coming out from Cat in 2020.....they are overdue anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
