This past week I had a request to see my Harley for sale and said sure when this weekend. So far nothing.
This past week had interested in your boat for sale, OK, but no more replies after I answer.
Maybe a third party broker deals with these buyers all the time and not being the seller can shrug it off.
Selling stuff, I also get I can give you this much before seeing it, just tire kicking I guess.

I well remember an ad in the UK's favourite buy/sell paper, the weekly "Exchange and Mart"
It went something like :-
1955 Vincent HRD Black Shadow. Recent rebuild, some Stainless, new exhaust system, 150 MPH 5 inch speedometer. Very Good Condition. £495.00
Re-advertised due to timewaster.
Because of this no tosspots, voyeurs or tyre kickers need apply.................................
Looking at the price I should have bought the six pack. They fetch £150,000 easily today!

I've done that a lot, especially anything metal. There are people who cruise around looking for it.
When we sold out and moved aboard, a lot of stuff went that way. Usually gone in 4 hours. Had an old pickup for sale once, put it out at the curb with a sign, it sold in 20 minutes.

It went for what it was worth.
Black Shadow's with correct paperwork, original engine and frame numbers and in first class condition go for twice that at Bonhams UK Auctions.
I am a sometime stringer for Bonhams and find bikes for their sales.
I was in the Veteran, Vintage and Classic bike business for forty years.

I should have included that, while restored, it was a pieced together basket case!

I’m more familiar with the 1952 Vincent Black Lightning.
