value of blacked out '85 350x

[longbedGTs]

Long story short, one of life's little changes is happening again and I've decided to sell the 350x. It's not out of necessity...just is a sensible thing to do. I finished the restore in mid 2012 and have ridden it 2 times since then...both on trails...no water/mud.

Since moving out of the country and into the city. Time and the convienence of riding is all but gone. Many new parts(one of which is a black molded headlight bezel by Aussieduner-older members will remember when he did a run of these) will be listed in the for sale ad as well as pics. Needs nothing but a new owner. Being custom, I'm not sure what to ask for it, so here are some pics and please tell me what you think it's worth. Don't sugarcoat please. I'm in south GA FWIW.

You would probably expect to get 2k to 2500 in Massachusetts. People go nuts on Craigslist and eBay these days and I wouldn't be surprised to see one like that with the owner asking 4-5k. Whether or not they would get that is anyone's guess.

All in all, it always goes back to "it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay".

Ok, that's about what I was thinking. It will go on eBay soon, thanks.

Update: I ended up keeping it and am soooo glad I did. Also moved to a new city with a wicked huge riding spot about 15 mins north of town. Surely the regret would have eaten me alive if I sold it. :TrikesOwn

Nice work on keeping it :P, since you're in the city, maybe adapting it to be road legal would be appealing =). I'd love to ride a 350x to work in the summer months.

Welp, time for a confession. I decided once and for all to let it go. It just didn't suit my riding style which was part of the reason I didn't ride it much. The slower stuff is more my thing...so the Big Red is a lot more fun to me. I listed the 350 on ebay and it sold for $1500 and is on its way to Australia. So, goodbye to it, but time to move on.

Interesting, shipping must have been killer?

Australia huh! Another 350x downunder. Do you know what the guys name is that bought it? Pretty tight knit community amongst us Aussies. Was it going to the east coast or west coast?

Funny thing about the shipping to Australia part. I never intended to sell outside the US, but after posting the auction I noticed I forgot to change shipping locations(which default to UK, Australia, ect) to shipping only in the US...so after seeing that, I decided to leave it like it was. Figured...how bad could it be? So...low and behold, an Aussie won the bid. Well, it took 2 months for him to take care of shipping arrangements, but he finally did so no worries. I don't want to give his name on here, but he is located in the area of Adelaide. No idea what it cost for shipping but it was all arranged by the buyer. It's got an Aussieduner headlight shroud on it and still has his sticker, so he's in for a shock once he sees that. :D It did get cracked in a low speed tip over though.
atcmatt: I've sent a pm.

1500 bucks! Ouch...... I'd have paid you that in a heart beat! You gotta let us know these things! Haha.....
