Robin..

Easiest way to list is find a Valk, any Valk on Ebay, and click on "sell one like this" It will be posted in blue. That puts you in the correct category. Then, just fill out the correct information, and write your descriptive narrative and upload your pictures. Make sure you think about what you want to say and do, don't forget you want a reserve auction, pictures really make the sale-they need to be good and clear, from all angles, and close ups of either good or bad. Good descriptions will help too. Your ad will sell your Valk! Good luck!

Robin,

Plus- You may want to block bidders with zero or negative (less than zero) feedback. Too many times deadbeat bidders will bid up your auction and not pay. I've seen some bikes and cars auctioned three times trying to get a real buyer.

I didn't see where you can put a reserve on it but saw everything else.

This is excellent advice! Look close you definitely want to set a reserve.

Don't forget that they take a nice little cut of your sale price!

Motor vehicles max out at $125

Some bitch about EBAY fees, but where else can you get world-wide exposure instantly. I think it is a bargain, and if you don't sell, you can relist for free until you do!!

Hi Robin,
  I've bought 2 Valkyrie's on eBay and sold one and currently have one for sale now. I've had 2 different thoughts on listing price. 1 - start auction at your lowest price point you can accept. Disadvantage of this is almost no one bids to the last minute to stop run ups or not at all. 2 - list low with a reserve and see if the price comes up to yours. This is a bad time of year to sell. Look at completed auctions to get an idea of what is selling and at what price. eBay is great for selling anything that is rare. Get much larger group of viewers. Good luck with your sale. I like me your bike but wife thinks we have enough bikes now. I keep telling her there are other colors of Valkyrie's we should own. Hasn't helped yet.
