Motorcycle Auctions Can Net Profit!

You can travel the county looking for the best deals on motorcycles but I can tell you that that could get pretty expensive. You can look in all the papers throughout the US but that can take a lot of time and a lot of money. So, have you ever considered a Motorcycle Auction?

Motorcycle auctions are the best place to find a deal. These bikes have been seized by a government agency or are in hock because of various reasons. What matters is now you can benefit from their misfortune and start cruising the roads.

What kind of bikes can you find in auctions? Well, all kinds. The bikes offered are never the same and the deals are never the same. That is what makes it fun. Some of the bikes were owned by people that got busted doing something stupid. Can you imagine someone living high on the hog and forgetting to pay their IRS taxes? Wow, that would stink. What would be even worse is their new $40,000.00 Harley Davidson up for auction. What would make it even worse is that a person at one of these auctions bids on it and wins at a price of $800.00. Impossible you say? January of 2005, Athens Georgia; the auction was not well advertised, 8 people showed up, the rest is history. The key is having up to date, instant information.

Online programs are a good way to look for these auctions. These programs do all the leg work for you so you do not have to subscribe to 10,000 websites. With some of them, you can start hunting today, even bidding.

Some of the features you want to look for are things like 24 hour access, complete listings from around the USA that includes telephone, address, email and websites of agencies. Make sure that off current updated reports on the dates, times and locations of the auctions, not only in your area but throughout your state and the US. This is important because some auctions do not advertise except through online methods. This is where a person can score big.

You still need to be cautious and not get in a bidding war with someone. If they want the bike that bad, let them have it. Unless you can afford it, bidding wars can drive the price up way over what you want. These bikes can be bought and sold buy you sort of like house flipping. The lower you buy a bike and the more you sell it for, the bigger the profit in your pocket.
