Selling a Buddy?

Post by Seafoam50 »

So, obviously this forum is one place where someone could post classified ads, but it's pretty small. Where else have people successfully placed/sold their scooters?

I'm joining the Peace Corps, and will be looking to sell in Late August. As much as it will hurt, i assume it makes more sense to sell it and try to get as much as I owe back on it. So, where did you succeed in selling your Buddy?

Craigslist will probably be your best bet. I will be selling my 125 ( also in Boston ) and thats where I originally purchased it. You could go to Scooters Go Green and see if they will make you an offer, but if they do it will probably be lower than you would hope to get since they gotta make something off the resale.

Yeah talking to the guys at Scooters go Green is kind of my backup plan, since I figure I'll get pretty low-balled.

I'm hoping to get around $1000 for my 50cc. Though 1.2k would be better.

Craigslist is your best bet. As far as asking price is concerned, I'd go with $100 below whatever the current Kelly Blue Book (www,kbb.com) price is but be prepared to consider offers.. Good luck and kudos to you for joining the Peace Corps. You are to be admired.
