View Full Version : Consignment Option?

I'm wanting to try and get some money out of all the OEM parts I pulled off of my bike when I did my upgrades. I don't have an eBay seller account and really don't want to pay the seller fees anyway (because I'd rarely use eBay). Is there anybody with an eBay seller account who would like to list my stuff and sell it for a small consignment fee? I could really, really use the money and this junk is just sitting in my garage...
If anybody's interested I'll take pictures of everything and list out what I've got.

What you got?
2007 GSX-R 1000 OEM parts:
Full OEM exhaust system
Exhaust butterfly valve cables
Exhaust right side heat shield (bodywork)
Left side passenger footpeg assembly
Front and rear brake lines
Front and rear brake rotors
Hydraulic clutch line
Clutch and brake levers
Windscreen
Front and rear sprockets
Air filter
Rear fender with license plate light
All consumables have between 800-1000 miles on them. I have all of the mounting hardware for these parts as well. I'll try Craigslist and see what happens, I guess.

Could somebody help me price these things? I wouldn't even know how much to ask. I can let them go cheap, they're not doing me any good right now.

Go look on ebay and see what they are priced at. Check the completed listings and see what the items have actually sold at. The bike parts market seems to be in a big slump. Everything I've looked at on Ebay in regards to parting a bike is either not selling or selling at a lower price than I know they have brought in the past. Also try gsxr.com and gixxer.com as that would be a bike specific market for you.

Grady, he has to have an account to see "Closed Listings".
Jon,
The hard part about selling those specific parts is MOST people will replace those with aftermarkets as you did, so they don't carry as much value. For example, a stock exhaust usually sell for $500+ new OEM, and even if someone needs a new exhaust, they typically go aftermarket. I usually only get $25-50 out of stock pipes.
Brandon has cleared out businesses for people on eBay and he just splits the profit with them. If interested, you may ask him. On this site, he is prolly the best at it, and gives you detailed accounting records.
I hope that helps,

Tell me when and where. I know they're not going to work for anything other than a GSXR1K...

Thank you Frank. I'll look him up and see if he can help me. I'm not interested in making a huge profit, I could just use some cash and these things are taking up space in my garage.

I'd like a Qualifier in a 190. But I don't have the money for it right now. Will probably have to wait until mid-next week.
