We buy your bike websites
Discussion
Does anyone have any experience of the many we buy your bike type websites? I know about Superbike Factory but was wondering whether anyone has good or bad experiences of any of the others?
I’m considering selling my 2021 Speed Triple 1200 and don’t want to go through the process of trying a private sale.
Any recommendations?

I tried them for my 12 year old (low mileage, VGC) BM tourer and they came back with £4k, compared to between £5k and £6.5k that "retail" dealer prices
seemed to be. Is that a reasonable sort of mark up they would take?
I have in the past asked for a price from my local Motoraad dealer but the gap in that case was about £2k or more - difficult to stomach that sort of margin.

On a £5k retail bike most would aim to make at least £1k after prepseemed to be. Is that a reasonable sort of mark up they would take?

So if it needs a valet, service, tyres etc that's all got to come off too
Bear in mind in a £1500 gross margin £300 is lost in VAT straight away
Showrooms, rates and salesmen aren't cheap either as the number of bike shops closing down demonstrates
Superbike factory’s offer was better than my local Triumph dealers offer to buy it.
The Speed Triple is a second bike that isn’t really getting used, so I was considering selling and not replacing it. I have decided though to replace it with a Speed Twin 1200 so have agreed a part-exchange deal with the dealer.
