Need opinions on these trike prices

[250rBeast]

Gentlemen, currently advertised in my area there is an 82 ATC250R runs, looks good $1200; 81 Atc200 $900; 81 Atc110 $800; 78 Atc90 in great cond. $750. Assuming that all these bikes are in good condition, the conditions stated above are per the sellers, what do you think they are worth, what would you pay? As I replied to a different thread a couple of days ago, here in the Central Cal. area I have NEVER seen a three wheeler sell for some of the prices I've come across online, or from guys selling on 3ww or the org., or other classified sources. To clarify, most of the prices on ATV's I have encountered on out of state sales are well below anything I have ever come across around here. People around here don't really believe in making a deal, they want what they're asking. While I can understand trying to get what your machine is worth, there is a fine line between reasonable and ludicrous and obsurd. Of course that is only my expressed opinion. Any input is appreciated as I am starting my collection again.

They 110 and 90 are high. the others are in line as far as pricing if they are in good shape. The 110 is the highest. 90s are a little more collectable. Thats why I say the price isnt too high on it. However I wouldnt pay that much for it.

r u kidding? i could sell u my restored 85 110 for $300 and shipping costs and it would STILL be cheaper than that!

[Fox250R]

id never pay 1200 for a 82 R! MAybe 500 at most

[rob0781]

i think there all overpriced...

[ScottZJ]

I think those are all quite high unless they are mint condition. Keep looking and also check ebay, cuz it seems that ebay sets the price standard around the US.

[mywifeknowseverything]

Way High... Where in Central CA are you???

[trikerider2oo7]

all of those bikes have prices that are too high. in mint condition the r is worth about $750. people think that trikes are rare and worth millions and they are not.

[mywifeknowseverything]

I just went to Kelly Blue Book....Here is what I found....They dont list Trikes until 1984...Which are newer than what you are looking at but it should give you a price base...However, prices are relative to what people are willing to pay....Anyway here is how it goes...
84 250R 560.00
84 200 430.00
84 110 350.00
The 90 wasnt listed.These prices were trade in value..Which is where you want to buy at...The Retails are:
945.00
770.00
625.00
So yes, If those bikes were mint...They might be worth the asking...Hope this helps ya...

Hey guys thanks for the input, it does help tremendously because for a minute there I thought maybe I was being thrifty not wanting to pay those prices. Like I stated before some people around here think their machines are worth a fortune. I could only wish they could see this feedback and realize that they are not being realistic. Of course as (M.W.K.E.) My Wife Knows Everything put it, if its mint it may be worth it, then I might also concur. None of those trikes are what I would consider mint, maybe the 90 which was restored. But those are the types of 'deals' you find around here. I do see alot of air cooled R's advertised, never once for under 1k! 560- 945 wow, that would be great if people actually went for that. I got my first ATC110 in 79' then an 84R in 86', so its been a while and I'm not up to date on prices, but I was shocked at what I've seen around here. Thanks alot guys, truly a great help. BTW, Kilabeezo you wan't to sell your 110 for $300, thats the best deal I've heard in years! I live in North Fresno but hope to sell then build and move up to my property up in O'neals,(mountains below oakhurst/yosemite). Oh, one more thing, an 85 350X for $1800 will take $1700. As the guy put it, "a rare and mint bike in new and original cond." Well it was nice and clean, but I hardly consider maier plastics original. What are these worth approx. 85/86 250R and 350X, and 86/87 KXT250 and 85/86 TRi-Z? Thanks again.

Small world man!!! I grew up in Fresno...Sunny Side area,,Around the Peach and Butler area over by the IRS..Roosevelt High..Matter of fact going up to Kings Canyon this Thursday on a Camping trip... Try going to www.kbb.com and check out the prices....They list ATC's Starting in 1984...Kinda fun...Good Luck!!!

[250rBeast]

Hey right on, I live in the marks/Barstow area. I called the guy and I thought he was going to stroke out when I offered him $350 for his 110, its o.k.,definately not mint. Whats with these Fresno people's mentality, think that trikes are antiques I guess. Have any trikes for sale? Have fun up in K/C, taking your bikes with ya? Cheers!!

[mywifeknowseverything]

Nope,,,,,Not taking the bikes this trip...Just a R&R trip this time....Quality Family time with family I havent seen all yr....Sorry he didnt take your offer....Youll find something though...
Peace

Ebay is not a price guide.

[threewheelin-feelin]
