Blue Raven Tour for sale
« on: March 25, 2015, 04:51:25 PM »
I'm going to clean up my RT (size 580L: bought in 2004) and take some pics to put it on sale.

Probably a daft question, but should I advertise it here first, or is it a reasonable assumption that most on this forum already have a Thorn/Rohloff?

Thanks
Joe

Personally I'd advertise it here first; viewers 'know their onions' and are 'pre-qualified' potential buyers in that sense. Additionally you'd avoid all the nonsense that accompanies the use of a more general online 'forum' known to many.

I'd definitely advertise it here first. A friend of mine is after a Raven, he's 6ft 1". Better to sell it on here as there are no fees to pay.

580L?

No, I would need a ladder!

Hi Joe!

What some people do is offer their bikes here first, then if no interest, pursue a wider audience via eBay.

An alternative is to list the bike on eBay with a link-back to the Forum.

Both have proven to be successful strategies.

Set your starting/reserve price to your acceptable minimum if going the eBay route. A few have started very low and found themselves giving their bike away.  :o

Best of luck on your upcoming sale.

Dan.

And don't overlook that PM I sent you when you first mentioned selling your Raven. Location always useful to know in case people want to view.  Did I hear you say you were in Northern Britain?

Thanks, everyone.

Clive, apologies, I hadn't noticed your PM - I've now replied.
