General information on auctioning your bike or item with Legendary ATV Society
1. If you have a beautiful low hour factory original bike, well maintained mostly original rider or professionally restored classic - chances are we are probably as excited as you are about it. We also love dealer advertising, point of sale items, gear and obviously NOS parts or lightly used take offs from vintage ATC's & ATV's. Our focus is the golden era of this sport from 1970 - 1992. We are open minded to things that fall outside of this timeline if the item is rare or simply immaculate! So if you are ready to share part of your passion with another like minded enthusiast, please read the rest of the info below and submit a bit of information, at which point Legendary ATV Society will follow up to get things going.
2. If your bike / item meets our requirements and is accepted as our next favorite thing to talk about and market - we will need the item to be represented here on Legendary ATV Society exclusively for either a 2 Week or 30 Day auction. Exclusive means that it is not listed for sale on other sites, other groups, other apps, new papers etc. The only place a person can potentially buy your item is here thought Legendary ATV Society. Why? Because we charge no upfront fee to put together a professional online showcase for your prized possession which takes a lot of skilled time - also we spend time marketing and posting the auction to reach other qualified people and groups - this also takes time.
3. Ok, so you are fine with Legendary ATV Society exclusively running a professional show case style online auction for your baby - this is how the auction will work. You talk or email with Legendary ATV Society and provide us with detailed photos and description. ( we will provide specifics of what we need when accepted ) You will tell us if you have a Reserve on your item, we then will set a mutually acceptable date to make the auction live. People will bid on your item - bid updates will happen twice a day at 9am and 9pm EST. At close of auction the highest bidder will need to make a $50.00 non refundable deposit. Once the deposit is made the buyer will receive the sellers full information and vice versa. It will then be up to the two parties to privately complete the transaction / sale / shipping etc. The $50.00 deposit is kept by Legendary ATV Society as gratuity. ( Add this nominal figure into your sale price as it will go against the sellers final payment / please keep in mind that other auction platforms charge 10% of total value - so a $3000.00 sale would be a $300.00 fee ) If you have a lower priced item that does not conform to a $50 deposit that we are interested in - we are still happy to work with you and can mutually determine an appropriately aligned deposit that works for both parties.
4. So why use Legendary ATV Society to sell your prized possession? For starters, it's low risk and extremely uncomplicated. The bigger auction sites build more and more red tape into their process every week it seems. We keep things simple, personal and professional. Why deal with chasing a hundred emails, 200 messages from people in groups, random phone calls, no shows, tire kickers, and low ballers? We handle the promotion, when the bike sells you get a real persons name and phone number that wants to pay you for the amount you asked for your bike or parts. Simple.
5. Why is Legendary ATV doing this exactly, obviously it's not a big money maker and you stand very little to gain? That's true - we'd make an extremely small amount of money if an item sells that would not even cover our time or resources involved in each listing - but we aren't doing this to make money, we are doing this because like you we love vintage ATV's & ATC's and getting to hear the stories and see the photo's behind these treasures more than makes up for the small deposit fee we keep.
