Am I asking to much??

[LarzBahrs]

I just put a bunch of project frames and a trike project I had on craigslist. I really havent got much of a response. Are my prices really that off for this area?? I see people regularly sell bs heavy duti frames around here for 50.

I'd buy that all day, every day, and twice on Sunday. I'd talk you down to $200 though. (I'm cheap and gas isn't :mrgreen: )

I would do 4 seperate ads,it's kinda confusing to me...

 

[LarzBahrs]

I put it up as a package deal really, I had one guy interested and asked me to send him pictures but you know how that goes, he didnt respond back. Outskirts that gas sure ass heck wouldnt be cheap all the way from kokomo :lol: :lol:

 

[outskirtscustoms]

Yeah, I used to live in Santa Cruz for about 6 months which wouldn't be too bad of a drive but yeah Kokomo would be a LONG road trip and lots of $$$. I still miss it out there though.

Like the others said, post individual ads and then at the bottom link to the other ads and mention the "package deal."

I've gotten to the point where I've turned on the little thumbnail pictures that show up beside the listing on the page and if the words or picture don't catch my eye, I don't click to see more. Probably the trike photo is showing up in the listing thumbnail and not a lot of people are looking for a trike.

Asking too much? Probably not. Saying too much? I think so. Please don't take offense, but serious TMI. You change the subject and then back again, annoying as a tax return. What you think it's worth,"heck of a deal", not pertinent, sounds like you have to talk them into it. Why not just yell BUT WAIT!! THAT'S NOT ALL!! Please call, thank you? Now you're begging. Cut to the chase. For example:

mens 26in trike project, 1 year only style 1962 schwinn skipper frame with schwinn town and country trike rear end, 150.
burgundy womens murray monterey frame including forks and chrome fenders, 20.
1956 schwinn corvette turquoise frame with correct forks, 70.
two 70's schwinn heavy duti frames, 25 each.
250 OBO for everything, as well as a pair of ape hangers and motobike bars, a bunch of crank sets, a set of Rok Shok forks for the schwinn corvette frame, and a nice solo polo seat I will throw in as well. call 916-893-8429 for more details.

Asking too much for a BICYCLE COLLECTOR for parts. No. As the others said, I would list separately and just get to the facts in the ad.

Asking too much for AVERAGE JOE....... YES

I gave myself a wake up call today.
I went to Walmart. In the Bike Section today, I saw a new 26" fixie for 78.00 assembled . I could buy a choice of like 4 different models of Cruiser 26" bike for 124.00, 29" Cruiser for 154.00
I can jump on it and ride. Now understanding that I am gonna check the grease etc. I am done out the door with something I can ride.
An adult Trike is 267.00 nice blue or dark red color with basket.

I can do a lot more with the money if I buy a new one much easier.
Just a reality check that I got there too.

Guys please dont tell me that the new stuff is crap, I know it is not same quality. But Average Joe including a lot of us is farther ahead buying new. Unless we are buying a few parts to make it custom looking.
No they do not make them like the used to. But this year I am not making as much money as I did a few years ago either.
