    Need Advice please

    I am looking to sell a 1984 Ascot. I think it is worth $1500, I will take $1200 no less. (KBB is a little over $1200)

    A guy wants to trade me a 1991 Honda CT70 even. It KBB at $800 or so.

    He says it is mint and runs well, actually it is this one. Honda CT 70 1991 Trail bike. Street Legal 50mph+

    The Ascot Honda for Sale or Trade.

    So do you guys think I should do it? I think I am losing out a little and should wait until spring to see what happens.

    I think I am gonna wait.

    What is wrong with wanting a "precious pit bike"? You make it sound like a bad thing.

    Trade the ascot for hardcore's new hawk. Then trade the hawk for a custom painted mailbox. Then trade the mailbox for Highsiders foot up your ass.

    EBAY

    then buy whatever you want. IMO $1200 is a shitload for that bike compared to what else you can get for that kinda money.

    I'll even volunteer my foot.

    If you want to do this whole bike trading around business, take whatever you can get for that Ascot and buy something else. Otherwise, you owe Clayton $20 for the crystal ball reading.

    Well he didn't go for the trade. We are still talking.

    As for the Ascot not being worth $1200, we shall see. I bet I get more than that if I sell it outright.

    That is like saying a Hawk isn't worth $2000.

    Numerous reasons, not the least of which is that I don't think I'm a bike dealer.

    But I wasn't kidding, I guarantee you will have to look VERY long and hard before you find an SV like Randy's.
