Just got offered $2000 for Big Red...

[Seabass]

I was outside today, washing down the my 85' 250 es. Some guy pulls up, get's out and introduces himself..."How much for this?", he asks...

"Sorry, not for sale", I reply.

"Well, what's it worth to you?", he asks.

"More than anyone is willing to pay...", I shoot back

"How about $2000?", he says...

I tried not to stutter and stammer and show my shock - but I think he noticed. I showed him the winch and told him about the cold start kit, and he was willing to go home and be back later tonight with the cash...I told him I would think about it and call him...
I don't know what to do...I'd be stupid not to sell it for that price...but this thing has sentimental value...I;m going back and forth, sell it or keep it...
I have to admit that was a wierd situation - came right back to the barn - could barely see it from the road...I/m thinking the local grass crop came off and some people need to get rid of some cash or something...
hmmmm....that'd be a nice downpayment on a sportsman 800...

[Wickedfinger]

[cliff2302]

What kind of sentimental value does it have? i'd sell it unless its really sentimental

[rob0781]

yeah i'd probally unload it pretty quick for $2000..

[skippy]

comes back to the ole saying.. money talks.. i usually have $500 spending money in my pcket,for toys only.., and a few other hundred in my work locker for impulse buys,, if you show some cash, you can usually pick up some deals.. i figure i can at least put down $1000.00 and seal a deal w someone.. and come back later to pick up if its good! you catch people in off moments,, and sometimes get some great finds!!

[Pistonhead]

I dont sell stuff for some reason, I'm a pack rat, I just cant help it, I'd rather squirrel old stuff away than sell it, but thats just me, I'd go by your gut instinct.

Ok, here would be my situation if someone offered me $2000 for my 110:

My '82 ATC 110 was in very bad shape when I bought it ($35) I even had the push the thing home backwards because it was in gear with no lever and didn't want to strip the splines using vise grips. Anyways, this was my first ever ATV of any kind. Me and my dad tore the whole thing down and completely went through it, every nut and bolt was inspected. This was OUR project done TOGETHER. When we were done there was a newly restored piece of history sitting in my garage that ran perfect. Sometimes when I walk into the garage I have flashbacks of our project and all the fun days of working on it and remembering all the people's voices who said it was too far gone and was a waste of a good $35. This just means way too much to me to get rid of, personal value that money can't buy, and good old times that money also can't buy. I never could imagine that a peice of machinery could have this much emotion to it, but it does for me since my dad took the time with me to spend long hard hours putting this thing back together piece by piece and figuring out problems. This project also taught me all the basics about mechanics that eventually led to the purchase of my other toys and starting up my own little shop. In fact, it would be SO much easier for me to sell my brand new Yamaha Big Bear 4x4 quad than to sell this little "ancient" Honda 110 3-wheeler. Even if I did sell it the money would be eventually spent and I probably wouldn't even remember what I bought with it, and my little 110 and all the memories it had would gone from my garage and some drugie would me thrashing it and tearing it into a million pieces.

I'm just trying to say think hard before you get rid of something that has alot of personal value, the machine will be gone and all the money will eventually be spent.

I say take a ton of pictures, I mean every angle and stuff you don't even want. Then sell it and enjoy a good deal. Buy another one, make it nice and pocket the rest of the money. You'll get attached to your new one too.

[hotroddal]
