Any advice on selling a bike to a prospective private buyer? What do you do if he requests to take it out for a short ride?
It had been suggested by someone to collect the cash first after he's satisfied with the initial inspection and offer a 30 min ride and if the buyer's not satisfied, return the purchase price. Any other good ideas to avoid a ripoff or getting the bike damaged, and not piss off a buyer in the process?
