Right about what you are asking for your 06, $4k. It was an 05 w/floats and fox shocks in rear, can, riser block, lefty, simmons, snow eliminators, and a new track (1500 miles). Had people lined up to buy it and that was just last week. Price your stuff right and it will probably sell.
Are any sleds selling

You don't sell used stuff based on what you paid for it. But what people think it is worth. The 05 900 is only worth about $2000-$2500. the sleds have a very bad reputation. Not knocking, but just saying.

The guys that kill me is when I throw an offer and they get pissed at me cause my offer is to low, amazes my every time. Right now there are dozens of reasons why sleds aren't selling and every one of them plays to the buyer. What I am seeing is sleds that I threw offers on last fall are still for sale now. What they are not considering is our economy has the potential to be worse next fall.
As a buyer I look at it this way, for every sled I walk away from there are two more around the next corner. It's real simple, if a seller thinks it will be worth more to the next guy turn down the offer at hand and wait for the next guy, but don't get pissed.
As a seller I get low offers, depending on personal finances I might take them or take a chance on the next guy. No big deal.

People on here want way too much for their sleds. Doesn't anybody realize that new sleds were going WAY cheap this spring? Why would I want a sled that's been used a season and a half with 1,000 miles on it for $6,750 when I can go to the dealer and get a new one for $6,999? I've actually seen people asking the same price or higher than the dealer is asking for a new one. I'm sorry that people bought a sled for way too much last fall, but I'm not going to be the sucker that overpays for their used sled so they can make the same mistake next fall.
well if i was selling it for what i payed for then it would be on here for $13000 new...
and there worth more then 2500 bucks and all the other 900s on this forum F/S are not any lower then 3000 bucks
and 3000 bucks probley because its been beat to **** and has a billion miles on it
and im selling mine for whats its worth,and that right buyer will buy. and personly i dont want to sell the sled,love it & runs unreal,its the cash flow thats hurtin
especialy with being laid off

Easy to sell
Just ask $1000 less than everyone else, and your sled will sell fast. I sold my RMK 900 like that last year. Guys were asking $6500 cdn, so I sold mine for $5200. I would never get that now anymore. I also bought a left over 09 2 months ago for under $10000 cdn. I paid almost $14000 for my 08. Now my 08 is only worth $8000 if that, but some guys are still asking $10000. Reality sucks. If guys are selling 08 sleds for $6000 - $8000, do you really think an 02 is worth $4000? It's a buyers market, and you can ask whatever you want, but it will be tough to sell for top dollar.

Better than the jackasses who make offers, chisel you down, ask every question in the world about the stupid thing like it's some kind of space station and then "need to go see the bank" and you never hear from them again. How about actually....y'know....having money if you're haggling someone? Doesn't really matter how low they will go if you're not buying it??
I work on a car lot and we deal with that crap all day long. Just today had a guy offer me $13K tax in for a used car we are asking $16,600 + taxes for. Hadn't even sat in the thing yet, let alone driven it and he wants a $5,500 discount. Told him straight up that wasn't going to happen and he got mad and left. Thanks fer comin out.....I guess.
Then you wonder why dealers ask you that stupid "well, if I could sell it for that, would you buy it RIGHT NOW?" question....because if the answer is "no" or some pansy "I have to check with my wife" nonsense, or the ever-popular "I have to see if the bank will approve me because I went banko last month," then it doesn't matter what the F you can buy it for....does it?
you sure you want to quote him in that example?
hehe, seen more then a few sleds haggled with to never be talked to again.
When I was selling my motor, got a lot of interest, people would say would you take x amount of dollars which was less then what I was asking by a fair bit, BUT, it was still worth it to get it out the door and get money in hand. BUT more then once people would offer, we would talk about shipping, then they would start asking questions and haggle and I had no problem going onto the next guy and selling it for less, cuz cash talks!
Been on the other end of that stick also
Lathem motors in twin falls always started out 8 grand more than what they would take and would throw out some ridiculous payment so they could only lower the price to make you feel better or give you more for a trade in. the bad part is I seen a few with way to much money who wouldn't even try to deal and pay invoice plus there stupid dealer market equalization sticker

The old saying...
" Cash talks, B.S. walks ' Its a buyers market right now. If you have a clean sled and are reasonably priced there's someone out there who will buy.
If you are having cash flow issues then sell lower than you want, if moneys not the issue sit and wait. Back to the subject...I havent seen a lot of sleds selling lately . Dino

Whoever I quoted...it was just a rant lol
That's exactly what I'm sayin....people are usually willing to compromise IF the buyer is actually buying. If they're just lookin...it doesn't really matter how much you would reduce the price. I.E. I don't care what a house in Equador costs because I'm not buying one.
had mine posted all over for a few months also, not much interest and my proce is low i think
I usually dont have trouble selling toys. I put a fair price on them and there gone. Could I have got more, yea but I want them gone if i put them forsale. I usually figure out how much I paid for it + what I have added to it. then I look at a couple sights and see where others are at, and put it lower then ive seen comparable. then I figure out how much I'm loosing and if its not worth it for me I'll keep it.
I agree with you. As a buyer, if your throwing offers they need to be "cash in hand". If your throwing offers with the banks money or the wifes money then they need to be standing next to you or its nothing more that BSting.
i thought haggling was all part of the process unless the seller really has it priced right.
Im straight foward when i buy/sell, usually though it costs me a couple deals when doing either though.
the part that pizzes me off though is I am looking for 2 trucks and still haven't even the dealer looking for me call with one
Oh well saves writing a check i suppose
I got lots of time anyways

got that a few times.... if you ask, "will you take $xxx" and its a bit below my asking price, if you dont have cash in hand, go hangle someone eslse.
I sold my motor for another $100 less then I was offered by another guy, but he was being weird and jerkin around like crazy and asking tons of questions, other dude offered cash. SOLD!
You can still sell your sleds
Sold both my sleds in 3 weeks. Just have to price them reasonable. Sold a ’99 Thundercat for $1,750 and a ’93 Thundercat for $750. I live in South Carolina and both buyers drove down to pick them up. One buyer was from Michigan and the other from Wisconsin.
I look at sled costs a little different. I ride two times a year out west and save $220 a day riding my own iron. Both of my sleds had paid for themselves. Now I have a new M that will pay for itself in 3 years.
The four sleds I have owned in the last 6 years were all bought off Ebay. I have had great luck and think its the best way to go. Always found the best deals on there.
