What to sell?

[blu_fuz]

We need to come up with about $1,000-$1200 to cover the full cost of a new stainless dishwasher and range(stove/oven).

Now, I don't need to cover the full amount by selling something I just don't want that full chunk of money to come out of our savings when I know there are 'things' that I could let go to cover some of it.


Here are my options:


All original (besides the grips) 1985 GT Mach One bmx. Only a few scratches on the fork decals and pedals. I have $50 into it and it could fetch up to $600.




All original and pretty 'used' 1987 Schwinn YO Deluxe bmx scooter. I have $10 in it and I might be able to get $100.




Only boxes I have that I would let go are:
$50 Sony CFS-9000
$100 Bolt Box
$100 Helix 4630 or Candle JTR-1287

^ those all need some work and aren't worth a lot.


Maybe sell the scooter and 3 boomboxes to total $350?

Price the Mach One really high at $750 and hope it doesn't sell? LOL.

Or, just eat the cost of the appliances and put them on a payment plan so the money isn't just 'gone'?

I'd sell the bmx if u only have $50 into it.. Mad profit!

 

[blu_fuz]

True - the way it is setup, it is really kind of small for me.


I have 2 other scooters, a 1998 GT Pro Series 24" cruiser, and a 2001 GT Power Series 3.0 that I can actually ride comfortably.

Sell them all and get some more profitable projects to play with. Btw, tell me about the bolt box.

 

[blu_fuz]

Ill drop you a PM about the bolt box.

Sell them all and get some more profitable projects to play with.

In 10 years do you see yourself on a bike? Probably not, I'm just guessing.

 

[blu_fuz]

Hahahaha, maybe my 24" BMX, but not a 20"


I listed my lowering kit for my truck for sale $400ish, so that will help.

 

[skippy1969]

Ummmmmmm,I think I called dibs on that Sony CFS-9000 a year ago DUDE!
Save it for me and I'll give ya $50.00 for it…..

 

[blu_fuz]

Don't get your undies in a bunch.

 

[redbenjoe]

sell nothing // get creative ...........

convert your silly 24" BMX into a chain-drive dishwasher

 

[SLO]

Dam Joe those GT's are NIIIIIICE, I used to have a Performer. Maybe you could put the appliances on a payment plan with 0 interest and keep it ALL!

 

[skippy1969]

Don't get your undies in a bunch.

HAHA! I don't wear Undies,they are in Ira's BMX dishwasher…..LOL!

 

[Ken]

Undies in the dishwasher? You are one resourceful DUDE, Joe... Kinda anal to be bleaching your plates, isn't it?

 

[blu_fuz]

U guys are funny. I have the 1985 GT listed for $750 and my truck lowering kit listed for $440. We will see what happens.

 

[blu_fuz]

So we decided to list our old range and dishwasher, no bites.

I listed my scooter, 85 GT Mach one, and my truck lowering kit.

The lowering kit sold for $350 today so that helps a lot. As bad as I wanted to lower my truck, it can wait.

 

[Ken]

You'll get there!

 

[redbenjoe]

down here in redneckville --
to lower our trucks we just remove the air from our tires

 

[blu_fuz]

^ that's hardcore!

 

[blu_fuz]

Looks like my bike is doing pretty good on epay. Ends today!

Well the auction ended. Just below the reserve but the high bidder is in Australia. No way am I second chance offering to him. I went down the line for both bidders below that and they were both in Illinois. Neither of them would follow through with the purchase....


So I sweetened the pot a little bit and added a OG 1980's racing number plate for the handle bars to the listing worth about $150. I accepted an offer this morning of $825 shipped to FL for the bike and number plate. Should be about $40 to ship, $60 in paypal/ebay fees, the end number will be around $700-$725 in my pocket. Not too bad but I'm sad to see this bike go.......
