frankc Posted October 9, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 9, 2013 Good Morning everyone, I was considering putting my 2008 Venture up for sale. With 17K miles on it, I dont know what a fair retail price would be. It has many extras like back rest, luggage rack, driving lights and is in excellent condition. So would anyone have suggestions as to a fair price for this bike? Maybe at least a number i could start with. Thanks Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongobobny Posted October 9, 2013 Share #4 Posted October 9, 2013 Unfortunately, accessories don't really do anything for the resale price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted October 10, 2013 Share #5 Posted October 10, 2013 Between $7500 and $8000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike Posted October 10, 2013 Share #6 Posted October 10, 2013 Thought I got a deal on an 08 Venture Royal with 9K miles on it for 9K Just needed cleaned and rear brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIC Posted October 10, 2013 Share #7 Posted October 10, 2013 Try to put a 1st Gen name plate on it and you should be able to double your price.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmelah Posted October 10, 2013 Share #8 Posted October 10, 2013 KIC he cant do that the person who buys it would be disappointed and since its a 2nd gen with no value i will help you out Frankc and take it off your hands for nothing yep i wont charge you a dime and ill collect for the gas and trailer rental when i get there :confused24: :rotf: on a serious note 7500 to 8000 sounds like a fair deal and good luck on selling it with the riding season coming to an end in your neck of the woods just a thought you might want to hold on to it until next season when every one wants to ride and no one want to pay dealer i mean steel-er prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you did with that kind of milage on the ODO. However here's a 2006 on eBay that's about to close, out of Baton Rouge, that looks like a steal unless I missed something.... I'm suprised no one has popped for it yet?? Maybe just a sign of the times?? I would have if I hadn't already picked up Seven of Nine (2007) for $6000. eBay 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankc Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted October 10, 2013 OK, thanks for the advice. I guess this season is comming to an end so maybe i'll just wait till spring and list it. I didnt think adding all those accessories made much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
