Dreamer or "reluctant seller", it doesn't matter much: He'll be keeping it either way.

Assuming he's serious, he's probably caught a particularly strong case of Rampant Optimism Without Reality.

Whats worse is they expect someone to pay 15G for it on the basis of 2 pissy out of focus photos.

What happens is a variation on a theme:
They see a fully restored, race ready Maico 490 sell for $11k, and instantly they think "old bikes are worth heaps! The old ag bike must be worth $5k at least!!"...

I regularly see gronks on FB insisting that ANY 500 MXer is worth $8k+ (including run-down shitters). Then you link ads from DDR and/or Robz for clearly superior bikes for way less than $8k, and they usually shut up... But some stick with the big talk, despite the clear evidence otherwise.

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

I saw a guy up here a few years ago selling an XT500 for $10,000.

His price was on the basis that his mate from the pub saw one for sale, in a magazine, at that price so they must be worth heaps

As soon as I hear the words "my mate from the pub" I know it's going to be a laugh

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
