Sons decide to part with one of his collection he just hasn't the time and funds to put it on the road and the usual too many projects, its BSA C15 so where would you advertise it?
Its not a show winner its been parked inside for the last 30 odd years so not in bad condition

My first bike was the old C15, although it did have John Tickle bars, rear sets and a whopping big Norton fuel tank. If I had the room I'd bite yer 'and off!

I'd go with "The old Bike Mart paper. (Subscription only).

Seem's to be the best.

Cheers, Tony.

I've sold several old bikes over the years in ebay.
But put it on as a classified Ad.
You get up to 12 pictures. You can Write a big long story about it. No sellers commission fees. Loads of enquiries. Simple and quick.

To be honest we have been watching them on Ebay
Last night a mint C15 was at £1200 and a box of bits at almost £900, the mint one has now dissapeared?
They just look to be all over the place, we have put it on Gumtree etc a dealer came this morning and bid me in a very low figure.
But its not the end of the world if it takes a few months to sell, might drag it to a show and try to sell it there?

The captive market on eBay far exceeds any other medium. Either put a reserve on, or sell it at a fixed price, if you want to avoid PayPal fees; don't forget to remove it as an option.

Add decent pictures; it never ceases to amaze me how sellers seem to think they will get top dollar with poor quality pictures and a lousy description!
