Autotrader or MCN

What do you think Auto Trader or MCN to advertise a Bike ...have you had susess with either ???

 

Sold two bikes, one through each. I think MCN has the wider readership though.

 

i favour MCN when looking

 

Ebay everytime.

 

ebay - you jus get idiots want test rides though !

 

Freeadds, not great but less bikes in there for readers to compare low prices with, always bet theres people out there more desperate to sell , usually for stupiedly low money. Try pistonheads web site too

 

I sold the Dragstar within two days of putting her in MCN

 

Hubby's had his '08 R1 on autotraders for 3 weeks and no bites. Only one viewing. Wish summer season would hurry up so he can sell her....

 

I'm with Rob - eBay every time. Just be careful about your wording to weed out the time wasters. I've never had an auction for a bike run until the end as they've ended early due to interest. Having said that, I've also never had anyone come look at any of my bikes and not buy it. I'll PM you some typical eBay listing T&Cs if you like.

If it makes any difference, I only checked MCN twice when looking for a bike to buy over the past couple of weeks. I just didn't find it very user-friendly. BikeTrader has always been my favourite. eBay seems to have a higher success rate though.

 

I just Done MCN & Gumtree - Ebay will do it Sunday for a Week !!!! thanks

 

Stick it on the Junkies

 

Just typing it out for there now -- Pistonheads any good?

 

they all ways seem to sell reasonably well on PH, should be worth a try

 

Whoo eeee late! , good luck on the sale paul

 

thanks boys !

 

Advertised on MCN once, only got scams. Back to Ebay!

 

EBay has a massive turn over and is very effective bit they take a % if you sell through them.
Pistonheads is excellent and very busy.
Have listed with biketrader / mcn but mcn but neither had much action.
EBay and PH give you more room too.

 

Had my old ZX advertised on Biketrader and nothing, stuck it in the Friday ad sold it straight away. I think it depends on when, what, how much and luck!

 

Had 2 people call from Gumtree one bloke asked if he could come tonight but he only had 3k in cash could he pay rest by cheque and i can keep the log book l it cleared ---do i look stupid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i told him give me the £150 deposit and come down with ther rest on saturdayand collect them ,,,,, he did not seem keen on this ...TWAT

 

thanks mate - going to go on PH mate think its well worth it ... needs to go for new toy !!
