1984 RGS 1000. 6500 original miles.

When I sold my car there it was without reserve so that never came up. They were easy to work with and the whole experience was fun. I enjoyed the 7 day pre-auction forum and answering questions and the actual auction was very exciting. I would do it again, especially since it sold for above my expectations.

I did have a friend, who had used them several times, to advise me and help with the preparations, so that may have affected my attitude. Were you very far apart on the reserve? 10%, 20%?

I don't mind sharing. They wanted $9000, I wanted $10,999. Honestly I think I may have spent too much money on the laverda but I don't mind keeping it.

I'm going to submit my Ducati 1098 to them with no reserve so I'll see how that goes.
 
I understand the thrill of gambling with no reserve but there is no way in hell I would risk getting peanuts on a sale.

I hear ya and agree. I'm more protected with the Ducati since there's a bit of a cult following with older ducatis. Not that Laverda's aren't a cult following 😛it's just that by me there's not a whole of people who know what it even is.

I agree it can be too easy to become over ’invested’ in our bikes, but I don’t think what you were asking was over the top compared to some sellers. Hopefully you can get a bit more enjoyment from the RGS and a buyer will come along in due course.
