In Huddersfield.

Seem to have a pretty impressive FB page and website. Sell bikes on behalf of the owners for a fee if I understand it right. Not sure what they charge but wondered if anyone on here is close to them or had used them in the past?

Good, bad, indifferent?

Like you I follow them on FB and they have a good active site that always looks very professional but can offer no more than that.

Seems legitimate...good reviews...didn't see anything suggesting they sell for a fee...but I didn't look too hard...my concern would be what would happen should damage or theft occur to my bike under their watch???...I assume it would be under their insurance...but if something did happen it could get messy...???

Would me my concern also Alzo but a private sale for a £15k bike is hardly free of risk from scammers, thieves and timewasters.

I'd be happy to pay someone a commission to sell a bike for me and save all that grief.

I agree 100%...no clear safe route...I detested trying to sell my Kuga on Autotrader...never again.

I spoke to Cubo Moto this morning.

They collect for free, clean the bike up (not really needed) and will not sell it for less than you want in your pocket. You tell them what you want, they decide if it's worth their while. They've told me they'll take mine on if I wish.

They can offer finance if buyers require and do not allow test rides under any circumstances. All bikes in their showroom are fully insured.

Seems a reasonable idea.

[Alzo]

Yip the offering of finance is a massive plus given the amount involved.
Hopefully it works out if you choose this route.

I guess they can sell for near showroom price, and you get your private seller price, and they don't need to put any capital into buying in stock.  I can see how that all works as a business model.
