Nomad not selling - Page 2

**billyboy** · 05-24-2011, 03:09 PM

In my opinion, the most attractive view of the Nomad is a photo shot from the left rear quarter, like my signature pic. It shows the bags and dual exhaust and that fat rear end.

Also, get the camera lower to make the bike look bigger. We tend to shoot everything standing with the camera at eye level - get down on a knee and shoot.

Shoot a left rear and front right shot to show both sides. Shoot a closeup of the speedo for mileage, and maybe an open saddlebag.

Price seems in the ballpark. I agree with the advice suggesting not appearing desperate or that you're selling because you need the money. You just showed your cards and they'll wait you out.

Thanks, it took a long time to rebuild that bike.

I wasn't trying to jump the thread. Just trying to drive home the point that visuals are everything to a buyer. If they cant see it in person or in a pic they cant visualize it.

If the weather stays nice for this weekend, I'll do a new photo shoot as a two-up. Obviously a big part of me doesn't want it to sell, but I really can't see how I can get through the rest of the year without a few more bucks in my pocket.
I guess the only good part about selling a bike is when you get to start shopping for the next one!

As Greg points out, It is a sharp bike and he should show more pictures of a great looking bike with a different color than most you see on the road. The economy is a major factor for people not buying. People are afraid of spending their money or going in debt

3 words DON'T DO IT

The color is what drew me to this bike, but it is unusual.

I wish I didn't have to sell it, but you know what? I'm not going to give it away. I think my price is about as low as I will go.

I agree with all the suggestions above. Too bad Doc did not know about your bike before he bought his Yamaha. I love the blonde Nomads. I think you have it priced right.

I have a buddy that I will send the ad to then hammer him to buy it!

Preciate it...

You guys sure are right - just got a ridiculous lowball offer of $3k!!

I've never seen a Nomad that color, is that factory or was it repainted?

shnyroq · 05-25-2011, 01:18 PM

That's factory - 2002 year only...

Bull Durham · 05-25-2011, 01:24 PM

I've never seen a nomad with that color. Very nice.

Thanks! It's what drew me to the bike.
