I am about to make a huge mistake. I have to sell some of my bikes and have a 77 GS-6 175 to offer. It runs perfectly. All original except for the fenders which are appropriate modern pieces.
I hope to have the bike at the Martinsburg WV Vintage race. Let me know if you would like me definately bring it.
What would the value be? Any interest?
I can e-mail pictures.
Thanks

I agree. For selling here list a price or at least give it in e-mail response. If you are unsure of price or want the best bidder to buy it then eBay is the place. The POG is not an auction site. The way to fix this is when it happens everyone give a silly offer. That usually gets the seller to spout a price. My spin.

I agree with Larry(write this date down for historical reference). I will trade my truck for your 175 or $14.00. Your choice. I can be reached by email:

I think I can come up with $14.00 in the next month or so

Maybe this needs to be on the general forum area. Anyway I think we should get more input from members and see if there is general agreement that items or bikes should not be posted without a price. It is one thing to ask an opinion as to the price someone should ask, which from the postings I have read never really gets answered anyway. (Seems a lot of members are afraid to give their opinion for fear that they might not be able to purchase said item cheap) It is another matter to use this site as an auction house. My feelings are clear, put your price you want or don't mention the bike or part on this site. What's anyone elses' take on this?? Ted Atkinson
Well stated Ted! One Wife for sale---$8.75 FIRM:D
Jim
Ted....good point, no! excellent point. All I will add is that I am normally the one to ask "where is it located and how much do you want for it". I agree with Larry that we are not ebay and if they want a auction go to ebay. After all when I put something in here there is a price and when I list something on ebay there is a starting price and normally a reserve.
We could request a note be attached to the Wanted/For Sale topic that indicates the location and price must be included in the post if it applies. If you want me to lead the charge email me with your suggestions and I will compile the information and submit to the powers.

i certainly agree that the location and price should be included in any ad. however, that is no guarantee that the person doing the selling will adhere to that. i have recently been involved with a sale where the ad was placed on this site. after reaching agreement to pay the asking price of 200$ and asking how the party wanted the funds to be delivered, paypal, money order, cash. someone else that saw the ad offered 400$. at least i was given the chance to match it which i did because the bike was probably worth it. but i was pretty disappointed that after having reached an agreement on the price, the price doubled because another pog member attempted to buy it out from under me. a handshake( or something like it) isn't always good enough anymore. just my 2 cents on the subject.
Jerry,
Great story. I think people would like to know who that was so that we know that person can't be trusted. I have been treated similar on other sites and I just don't do business with that person and even block them from bidding on anything I have on ebay.
Ron Carbaugh
I certainly agree that we need to post the place and the price. [^]It is really a shame that who ever did that to you jerry took advantage of our kindness at this site and your willingness to stand by a mans word, it use to mean something. We band together because we have a common interest and yes Love of these great bikes.;) To take advantage of that is to go against why we are here. We are here to help each other not bank roll desires. It is called greed my friend and it will ruin all that this site stands for. I have no trouble asking a fair price but to gouge a brother or play one against another is beyond ....... [:0][V][8]
If we have to spend all of or time watching our back how are we ever go to see where we are going[?]
