Hello,
  My wife just acquired approx. 10 motorcycles. Harleys ;63 Pan head , Knuckle,. A, B.S.A, Nortons, a Triumph, a 1971 Moto Guzzi, a Honda Scrambler . Most needs a lot of work,( been sitting in an 16x24 shed with no door ) There is a 2001 black Harley FLT in much better condition but has not run in 5-6 yrs.
 Where can we look for a buyer of the lot. I already have had someone here but want another opinion . We have the titles !!
 Thank you

 ???  Maybe the place in Maggie Valley, NC could help you. It is a museum called "Wheels Thru Time". I bet they could help direct you. Perhaps they may would be interested too? Good Luck  :coolsmiley:

Don't know the value,trying to find someone to give us a fair price,realize they have to make money , but we don't want to give them away. One person offered 8 thousand for them, one person wants the Pan head and the knuckle head.  
Thanks, Rich

A wife that goes out and buys 10 motorcycles is a rare and beautiful creature.

I don't need any more bikes, but how much for the wife?   ;D  

Just kidding you know.  I had two (not at the same time).  I don't want another one.

Seriously, it might be worth your time and small money to get a bike appraiser to look them over for you and give some rough estimates.  Some of those ridiculous ancient bicycles with engines on them from early 1900's are going for a $100K (unrestored).

One piece of advice;  it's likely a couple are worth more than the rest.  If you don't want to get stuck with some that won't sell for much of anything, make a package deal for best price.  Unless you like sitting on the leftovers.  Remember, titles can be worth something (for those that have nearly whole bikes in parts, but no title to take to DMV after assembly).

You better do some research on that Knuckle!!

Where are the bikes located?

I agree that you should call them.

The suggestions mentioned are a good place to start. You will want individual bike pricing and a group price. Then compare the two. Individual pricing will more than likely bring more money, but selling that way will take longer to sell the bikes than a group sale. The knuckle alone is worth some serious money especially if restorable. The pan isn't too far behind.

Know the real prices! You will be low balled by most buyers. You want to move the bikes as fast as possible but don't lose your butt doing so. That's why I say get real individual bike prices. Good luck, nice collection!
You are never lost if you don't care where you are!

I REALLY should not say this,BUT They are mostly Harley's, no one stole any since they were there, so what does that mean  :)
