We buy any bike
Discussion
I put my bike into We buy any bike just out of interest to see what they’d offer.
It came back as £3543 which is about a grand less than I paid in December for it but about what I’d expect from them.
That wasn’t the interesting bit tho.
I got another email this morning offering £4000 valid for 3 days.
Never having used them before is this what they normally do?
the emails I can deal with and I never use my correct phone number on stuff like that.
Are they the same outfit as we buy any car(???)
I know people who have tried the car route: you get an email valuation, then drive into your local centre for evaluation, at which point the 'survey expert' suddenly finds all sorts of problems & drops the offer price by at least 25%. I wouldn't go there personally.

My son was thinking about selling his 2016 Street Triple 675R, webuyanybike offered £3250, needless to say he did not accept their offer. They then offered £4100, again he declined it.
I think if they made the second offer in the first place they might get more business instead of making a ridiculously low offer first, anyone that does not need an immediate sale is a lot better off selling in the usual places, just got to weed out the usual time wasters.

If you've an established rapport with a dealer you've bought from before or are planning to buy from again you'll generally get fair value if you push for it particularly against new bike sales targets and in light of the recent lockdown I imagine.
These "we buy" outfits are there to take advantage of the needy no more than that.

Im sure they dont have a warehouse full of bikes they hope will one day net them gold.
It seems more like the price is down to wether they have a buyer lined up.
I think the webyanyphone things are like that.
I have brought a phone that was probably sent in and redirected to me without even getting a polish.

A mate sold his absolutely mint R6 to them for a pittance, he took the first offer "just wanted a hassle free sale"
They still tried to beat him down over lack of recent history (it had covered less than 1k in recent years) he told them to sod off as he'd told them at the time - they drove off then came back 20 mins later and bought it.

I used one of the ‘we buy bikes’ for a quote, the price was really good, I lost £2k on a 4 year old Harley.
The guy turned up in a van, quick check and the money was in my account before I completed the V5 update.
Totally out the blue, but it was a price I couldn’t ignore.
