need help pricing parts

[v-twinwalker]

was wondering if i can have somebody or a couple people help me out with pricing out parts? im located in the US. i have a bunch of stuff id like to get rid of, i figured my pricing is fine but i have no hits, its mainly slabside parts but theres a couple slingshot things and a tiny bit of watercooled stuff. 

want to have this stuff sold but i cant afford to just practically give it away.

I'm guessing the US market for these bikes isn't as strong or as popular compared to Europe hence no interest, and yes you will have to 'virtually give it away!' Also gonna have to factor in freight costs if selling to Europe and that won't be cheap either which will hit sale prices! So, unless the parts are very rare or exotic, its a buyers market in terms of returns!

I was interested in your 6 speed trans stuff as i'll likely need something for my 750, but its been put on the back back burner for a few more months.

I do need a front 86 1100 wheel (smaller axle) if you have one, mine has a flat spot.

the wild thing is that the prices for stuff in the US is higher than Europe by a lot actually. im not sure if its because people think im a scammer since 95% of sales posts in the facebook groups are, or if its simply because nobody wants it at the moment. i thought my prices are fair since the well known sellers post their stuff for the same price and it gets sold rather quick, but maybe im wrong.

i have an 1100 wheelset from a 1987 gsxr 1100, i actually am trying to sell the whole front and rear end off of it. 

so thats the swingarm, forks, yokeset, front wheel with its discs, rear wheel with its disc. not sure if im keeping the shock or not.

i just didnt want to sell the front wheel by itself, id atleast want to sell it as a set. 

i still have those 2 transmissions aswell.

Try posting on Craigslist also put stuff up on here. There are a handful of us scattered around the country that still hang out on here. I think there are a lot more of these bikes still on the road in Europe, we destroyed a lot of them either from racing or people just being dumb. Now it's collectors buying everything and driving the prices up so they can have their stock garage queen.

I regularly check craigslist up and down the west coast looking for old GSXR parts, they're not the easiest things to find. I think about 10-15 years ago the parts started drying up for the oil cooled stuff.  I don't even look at the facebook groups anymore, mostly scams or people asking way too much money when you know they're buying and parting out bikes. Facebook marketplace isn't much better.
