Best Place To Sell My Royal Enfield 535 Continental GT

I fancy a change of bike and have had my above machine up on Fleabay as a classified ad with no interest whatsoever. I'm quite possibly asking too much but I only want to sell to try something else and otherwise I'm more than happy with the bike. I'm not on social media but wonder where else I should try to sell this bike?

iansoady:
Although I hate facebook I've bought & sold several bikes over the last few years there - all very problem free. Having said that, there are many tales of scams etc, just that I haven't experienced them. The market for older bikes has dropped dramatically over the last couple of years - not sure whether that might affect your RE?

Well just as the Ebay ad' was ending I had an offer which was not unreasonable but then the prospective buyer tried to back out after I accepted his offer online and we are now engaged in a merry dance of messages through Ebay going round in circles.
My previous experience of Ebay has been quite positive but this has soured it somewhat- I know there are certain types out there who while not necessarily out to scam you use all sorts of tactics to get a cheaper deal and i think he may be one of them? Who knows?
I'm clearly not going to get anywhere with this one so may just end up keeping the bike-it is a perfectly nice reliable model with no issues.
I'm afraid I have never been on social media as my previous long standing employment meant I had to keep my private and professional lives quite separate and apart.

That’s a Shame Martin. Whatever happened to the days when one just popped an ad in the local rag and then one sat waiting for the phone to ring. My fingers are firmly crossed for you that all ends well with the sale 🤞🤞
Cheers, Michael

xbally:
Thanks for replies Ian and Michael. As I said in one of my many messages to the purported buyer the days when you could assess the seller or buyer as well as the vehicle by meeting up seem to be largely long since gone. Have already stuck a free ad in Classic Motorcycle Mechanics and intend to do the same in Real Classic and maybe others.
