thinking of starting all over..

[harris]

my new years res was to start afresh with alot of things i had been putting of doing or been lazy to sort..
so this year and trust me it will take a year to sell of everything i have and start again..bike wise.
i have not 1 intention of giving up in fact its the hunt i enjoy,so fancy a fresh bunch of stuff to get my teeth into.
so just not sure the best way to attack it...gonna be an immense job splitting everything down and pictures /pricing and posting.
gimme your thoughts on the best way to start.

[kev-s]

best to start with parts which are not on complete builds, clear out all the spares/odds and sods then all u will have left are complete bikes which u can sell whole or begin to split one by one

you can start by selling me a set of super pros

[harris]

i went out this morning to see what to do but just walked out scratching my head.
i could get the completes stripped in 2 days i guess,then photo the lot wold take 2 days with descriptions of condition.
a day to price up at a guess ...but posting it will be a challenge...
i might even employ someone to do it...time to wrap and post will be the hardest for me i think.

[kev-s]

tbh if u start stripping completes and sell everything at the same time it will make it harder to keep track of everything u have sold, need to post and awaiting payment for so i personally think its best to do one complete at a time espcially with the amount u have!!

[harris]

money wise splittings best but completes are easier at a lesser price and less hassle to move along
but when you start to add up even at real low prices it does add up to alot for a complete ..so a tough one.

[kev-s]

yeah completes even when cheap are still quite dear when they are built to the spec urs are and u need to find someone who want a complete with the majority of parts u have on urs

unless they are really rare or have rare expensive parts then most people dont like to pay more than £500-£600 for a complete and some of yours would fetch more than that if stripped

i suppose its down to if u want a cheap quick hassle free sale or hold on and wait and get good money for parts

[harris]

im just of to pull out my hair     what have i started in my head arrgghh

[kev-s]

lol well good luck on deciding and if and when u do decide to sell let me know and ill have a set of super pros off u

[gary4130]

would have thought doing the parts you arn't using would be easier to sort out first dan.then start on the completes,by then you might have changed your mind and keep them   bet you will be getting loads of dib dobs +pm's now

[martylaa]

Run a list of your completes, then see if anyone is after one.

[Philbert]

you can start by sending all the rare standard stuff to my worthy address!

and a set of super pro's

[brummie]

hello dan, maybe type a list of the parts onto a word document and do the prices as you type. then copy and paste onto here. then get a load of the parts onto your bed or something and do one big photo.

totally agree the packing and trips to the po is the hard part but you will enjoy watching your paypal account swell with funds for new goodies. so all well worth while in the end

i have started writing down but got so much i walk out for a brew.i need to get on with it..

[Gary72]

I'll get a van and take most of it off your hands for free
I'd say get rid of the odds and sods knocking around that you dont think you will need, There's nothing like selling a part then 2 weeks later thinking oh shit wish I still had that.
Maybe make a wish list of what you want to build next and list of parts that you might want to keep.

if I were you, Id put off selling anything for a good 6 months, let the economy pick itself up, Ive noticed a lot of old/mid school stuff not selling for what they were a year or 2 ago, maybe the interest has dipped but im betting its the economy crashing.

[teamsano]

you'd probs get at least £25 for each of the standards, dan.

any pics of the 24"?

[harris]

lol   im sorting pics later mate..bloody cold outside keep popping in for a brew..

[QUADROPHENIA]

now daniel

mate walkaway from it for a week, play with the car or scooters, even turn the van into the A Team bus but dont do something you will regret












the wal roit will have to come here before you get sent to the nut house

[CD17]

Dan I did this about 18 months ago, maybe two years, I started to sell of all those parts I had spare, then I started on one bike at a time stripping them down, a lot went on here or ebay, I find that around five items at a time is best to sell, unless its big items like frames or wheels, which you will need bog boxes for.

It amazed me how much money I raised    If your going to do it, just take your time, quality items always fetch good money whenever you sell them, I just sold this used rear mech on ebay & could not believe how much it went for

BTW f you have any Nos white alloy/coaster Tuffs LMK 

[harris]

i havent any white coasters mate sorry..i just started taking pics of a few bits and gonna probably do an ebay shop
looks like a better way to get shot of it and gives everyone a pop at stuff.its one hell of a task...i have  few new builds in mind so the faster i sell this lot
the faster i can get on with new builds.

[stuntmaster]

yep  that and subwax is flooding the market with stuff at mo so prices of stuff will drop as how many people need frames ,it`s  the bits that are harder to find  

[harris]

lucky mines all mid school then..lol  im not expecing any good prices  just average ..or it stays

If you have a price in mind Dan I would stick it in here first, you will save yourself a lot of money in ebay/paypal fees
