That's always the $64K question...

I'd say ask what you want / think it is worth and see what happens. The market will always dictate the value and sometimes it is really a timing thing. The longer you can wait, the more likely you'll get your full asking price.

You can always lower your price if you are in a hurry.

Looks like a nice 40 BTW.

Man gets married and his Cruiser gets the boot.

Good luck with the sale, Matt. For any interested onlookers, this one is first class, it is a beautiful (and beautifully done) Cruiser.

mtweller · 08-30-07, 04:14 PM

NNNOOOOOOOO!!!!

Say it ain't so Matt. You should get that in my opinion. Damn, can't believe it. First Greg, now Matt. Juan, at least you have a few backups if you decide to sell.

southerncruiser62 · 08-30-07, 06:08 PM

Oh, by know means am I done, there will be plenty more, and I hope the same for matt down the road.

southerncruiser62 · 08-30-07, 06:09 PM

maybe it's just something to do with the 350's, maybe it says something about sticking with the factory 6

Mtbcoach · 08-30-07, 07:14 PM

I have to agree that seeing it with my own eyes, its a nice rig. Wish I had the means, I would love to have it in my stable...

100% Agreed. There is something to be said for this statement in terms of OEM / stock 40 fans and perceived value...........

flitcroft96 · 08-31-07, 12:15 AM

flitcroft96 · 08-31-07, 09:49 AM
