Title: Ever wonderd were all the Kawasaki mini bikes were
Post by: Slakewell on August 04, 2014, 08:28:55 am
This guy has them. Ive seen this lot for sale before. I like his optimistic view of this as an business venture.

A bulk lot like that is never going to sell. $500/bike might be a fair price (probably not), but the odds of finding someone with $37k burning a hole in their pocket who can't think of a better way to spend it than on a poop-stack of non-running minibikes, is very low.

Add in the logistics dramas of having to transport and store said poop-stack of non-running minibikes... It just aint gunna happen.

How many of the 70 do you reakon you can get running for a reasonable price? My guess would be 20.
After you sell 10 on ebay how many real buyers will be left?

Good point. You could/would single-handedly f$&k the supply side of the supply & demand equation.

What you might call overly optimistic perhaps.........Yes selling individually would be the way to go one would think .
