bikesales.com.au Reviews 

Bike sales works and was easy to set up the ad looked professional and i had less tyre kickers than the other free websites and apps like gumtree.

Ease of navigation with ad placement that also provides you with the bike specifications. It also seems to filter out the time wasters and tyre kickers - that in itself is a winner!

It was good, but now I'm forced to do this to remove my advertising, it's *hit.

Bikesales is the place to list if you're being pressured to sell your bike by your pregnant wife. It creates the illusion of effort without actually getting results. So everyone is happy!

In all seriousness though - really poor enquiry level that simply does not justify the fees they charge.

I was selling a car at the same time and had to shift it to gumtree because carsales had generated virtually no enquiries. Gumtree delivered over 10X the enquiries and sold it in days.

I would have moved my bike as well but was quite enjoying having it around.

I got a few bike enquiries, but mainly from dealers trying to get it for a steal. To be fair I sold it in the end through Bikesales, but the buyer (and many more) would have found me on Gumtree instead.

So in summary, I wouldn't list on carsales or bikesales again. They simply don't return value for the fees charged. The market has moved to free sites so it makes sense to list there instead.

Good research tool for new bikes/cars, but not for much else.

Easy to place ad and felt secure providing my details to a reputable company. Sold my bike in less than 2 weeks. Very happy with result and cost of ad.

Very easy to advertise Bike or vehicle. Great outreach to customers looking to buy one. Hassle free process to advertise listing.

Excellent site to advertise. Sold my bike within 2 weeks would recommend and use again.

I got twice the response through FB marketplace without paying any fee

Platform is too expensive and I have only received 1 offer. Sold it in 3 days on FB Marketplace.

Every vehicle I've listed does sell! The contact system works well and the ads allow plenty of scope for getting my message across.

all good, needs some fixing on the mobile when you have multiple adds, but all good none the less.

thanks guys

Much greater exposure to genuine buyers than other sites

My bike was advertised on Friday night aand sold for my asking price. Very good result.

Sold from Bikesales however advertising cost a little high compared to other sites

I had a holding deposit under 8 hours of the add. And the only reason it took over a week to sell is because it was an interstate buyer and the gentlemen tried everything he could to get to it earlier.

Bikesales auto assignment of the bike type and it's details is too restrictive especially if you're trying to sell a bike that is not very common or has been modified from the original. For example I wanted to sell a Triumph 955i Daytona which had been properly and professionally converted from it's fully faired state to the naked 955i Speed Triple style. This is a popular conversion amongst Triumph enthusiasts and is typically referred to as a 'Speedtona'. Unfortunately Bikesales has no provision for identifying the bike as such.

***EDIT***
Hi, Alex,
The ad ref was SSE-AD-4678521. It was some time ago & I think the bike actually sold through Gumtree.

I just sold another bike, a BMW R1100S (SSE-AD-7230422) and this highlighted yet another issue with the auto-description. There is no provision to list the colours of an optional factory two-tone paint job. The bike is listed by BMW as Titan Silver/Mandarin Yellow but you can only select one colour in the listing.

cheers

Selling the bike within two days of advertising was a great result.

I received plenty of genuine buyers and sold for the asking price.

Bikesales was very simple and straight forward. Sold my bike within 7 days for asking price.

Users beware however, there are a lot of scammers that monitor the site and you should avoid the 'I live really far away and I'll send a courier' scam.
