Backmarker 6 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Guys, My track riding days are over and I've decided to sell my leathers. I've put them on Ebay a couple of times and not a sniff. I don't think it's the asking price (£99 - cost me £960 ) So, where next? I could go to my local track and hawk them around I suppose, but the thought of selling electronically from the comfort of my own armchair is far more appealling Any ideas anyone?

internets 472 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 From memory I think I got around £60 for my 2 piece leathers on eBay, although that was a year or 2 ago, I just started the auction @99p Quote 1982 DeLorean DMC 12 #16327, 1999 Lotus Elise, 1998 Lotus Esprit GT3 #2272, 2011 Lotus Evora S, 2013 Lotus Exige S,2016 Lotus Evora 400 Link to post Share on other sites

Backmarker 6 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Thanks Bibs.

MPx 267 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Doesn't MCN Mart have a clothing section? Used to when I was a regular reader. That's gone online now so maybe the ads have too? Are you keeping a 2 wheel toy for the road Graham? Mine's been sorn'd for 2 years now. A bit daft keeping it really if I'm not riding, but not yet prepared to no longer be a biker. Still hope to recommission it and get out again when /if we ever get the major projects finished at this house.

Backmarker 6 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Mike, Checked out MCN online and the only ads they appear to accept are those relating to bikes themselves. I've not ridden on the road now for over 15 years so I think I'm now officially an ex-biker Quote Wing Commander Dibble DFC<br /><br /> North Midlands Esprit Group<br /><br />NMEG "the formidable squadron"<br /><br /> "probably the most active Esprit group in the world" Andy Betts, Castle Combe May 2007 Link to post Share on other sites

Iconic Ride 267 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Yes! Yes! I feel the healing spirit within me. I am one with the machine again. The skin of the calf has lifted my heart to new born redemption! I sing the praises of The Bikemeister to the heavens above, and I once more dwell in the swing-arms of the Softtail gods as I convert my rear tyre to gumball consistency. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Günter 28 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 in 'continental' Europe you would use www.mobile.de or autoscout24.de for cars & bikes and anything related (like clothings & spare parts) .. worth a try ?

andydclements 760 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Amsterdam? Or perhaps focus the advert on things other than riding of motorcycles. Equally sheepish grin. Bazza. That just made me laugh out loud, possibly the only time so far this week. well done mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andydclements 760 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I've not been on here recently and for a lot of topics it takes me to the start rather than last viewed, but maybe it did take >3 years to hit, I am from Norfolk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
