bikesales.com.au Reviews 

Waste of time on bike sales, i got more interest on market place on Facebook and that was free.

It's always first lookr that buys and they know what they want. All good.

I use bike sales and/or car sales every time for more than just selling. It's a great place to browse and research as well. And safe too.

A good viewing audience and results eventually achieved.

The main reason for using bike sales is although there are free sites to advertise. I have never come across a scammer as with other sites. The buyers seem to be more genuine and less lowball offers. If there is a genuine buyer looking for your particular type of ride then they will no doubt look at this site. Its a given.

I've sold 2 bikes here, priced right, they both sold reasonably quickly for the asking price.
I was pretty lucky I guess, right place at the right time, but........ at least I didnt get besieged by the scammers........... got one when selling a Harley Fatboy, other than that, two genuine of which one purchased.... the 2nd was a Kwak Versys SE, priced on the money, sold to the 3rd enquiry.....

Well I didn't get a single call other than one from a dealership offering way less than I wanted.

My ad ID.SSE-AD-15913708

The whole process was very easy and smooth and I was contacted personally by a Bikesales employee, by phone, when the add was posted. The scooter attracted 17 interested people/prospective buyers and a deposit was taken for it on the day the add was posted.
Many thanks Bikesales!

I sold my bike on bikesales in no time at all. The platform works really well, it was easy to manage my ad and communicate with buyers.

Advertise on Facebook. These guys charged 80 bucks and not 1 enquiry. Facebook was free and I got dozens in 1 week. Save your money.

I feel that people looking to genuinely buy and are prepared to spend money look to here because they know it's not free over a sell price range thus the person selling is more likely to be upfront and not out to scam them

Ok ok experience

Don't waist your money, just use a free service like Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree. I didn't get one message or call from Bikesales and ended up selling though Facebook for free.

The Add Worked , I sold my Motorcycle

it was a smooth process to sell the bike and I connected with a genuine buyer. There were quite a few hits on the listing and it was worth it in my opinion.

Relatively few hits, very expensive, pointless. Use free services like gumtree or Facebook instead which were more successful. Carsales may go the way of the dodo, like TradingPost. Considering the fees for something that costs them nothing, I’m not surprised.

Bikesales have since asked for details of the advertisement. Which raises another point (and what prompted this review): when you mark your bike / car as ‘sold’ they ask for feedback and there’s functionality to copy your review and apply it on TrustPilot. The cynic in me wants to think it was because I offered a low score it wouldn’t work, but it’s possible just that it was broken.

Either way, to answer the question, you will find it as a near identical review provided yesterday on Bikesales for a Honda ST1300.

To pre-empt bikesales response which will no doubt talk about the hundreds of people who saw the ad and handful that saved it, and the one person that messaged me through Bikesales, the fact remains: more people contacted me through identical ads listed on free sites/forums than through Bikesales, so frankly, don’t bother listing there.

No responses from bike sales and 5-6 responses from FB marketplace for the same ad. I spent nothing on FB and ~$90 on bike sales. Doesn't seem like a good ROI given I got zero responses from the paid advert and several from the free one... Either need to increase their market share, provide extras not available to sellers on FB or decrease their prices to compete with Facebook

I wasn't approached about the bike once based off my ad on bike sales. Given the price paid it seemed a bit rich. The process to set up the ad was easy and intuitive. I've had success using the bikesales network before though.

Bought my new bike via Bikesales and sold my old one through the same platform. Recommend this option. Had a number of genuine buyers who made an enquiry.
