Would you love a new bike but need to sell your current one first?

  1. Have you got an old classic bike in your shed?
  2. Do you have a pile of bikes in your garage and would you like to turn them in to cash?
  3. Would you like to get the top, current market value, for your bike?
  4. Does the idea of thousands of people looking over your bike, without the hassle of them coming to your house, or you spending hours on the phone, sound appealing?
  5. Would you like your bike to be sold in ten days?

We’ll do all the hard work; you don’t need to do a thing!

 

How are we going to sell your bike?

All cycles will be auctioned on eBay.

All auctions start at 99p with no reserve and are over a 10 day period.

 

Why let us sell your bike for you?

Prior to photographing, all bikes will be fully processed, through our workshop, by a mechanic, for a reduced up-front fee of only £40. We then take photographs with multiple close-up shots. We create a detailed, researched full description of your bike’s condition, components and history (where applicable).

Our sales team will swiftly answer any questions from buyers, which arise during the auction period.

Our feedback and reputation are second to none... with eBay we now have well over 100,000 and 99.9% positive.

We will handle final payment from the buyer. We will deliver your bike to the buyer, boxed and ready to go! (UK mainland only).

All these points will add considerable value to the auction and help your cycle reach its highest price potential.

 

Can we tell you what your bike is worth?

In short, the answer is no. Your bike will be auctioned, over a 10 day period, reaching a huge audience and will realise the current market value. 

 

How many bikes have we sold to date?

We have well over 300 happy customers so far!
