What would my stock panniers and mounts be worth?

[Cos]

Alright, so here's the story:

I'm getting out of the USA in a couple of months. There are a few things i'd like to do to the Tigger before i end up on the island and getting some metal panniers is one of them. Sad fact is, i can't flat out afford to add another set of panniers to the stock ones, so i'd have to sell those to get the metal ones.

So...set of side-bags, Lucifer orange. A few scratches here and there but nothing structural. Naturally, the mounts would go with those. I don't quite know what to ask for them, or if anybody would want them. So, suggestions, offers, etc would be more than welcome and appreciated.

Thanks,

Cos

I'm curious about this too.

I heard a couple of accounts from fellow riders at the WV ride-in that relayed their difficulty in getting rid of their OEM panniers. They were forced to let them go for FAR less than they were expecting. Not sure if the demand has changed any.

I was hoping to sell mine to subsidize a set of Happy Trails, Touratech, or H&B type boxes, but I may have to eat much more of that cost than I intended. Hell, I may just keep the OEM ones just in case I decide to sell the bike (not likely).  :roll:

I think that since they have been a standard accessoriy since 2002...
you will only sell them if someone needs a replacement.

Look at it this way.... if you want top dollar... why noit but aluminum.

I know there is someone out there who has quite afew saddlebags... he shows up on ebay now and then.

It's a tough sell.

Buy the Happy trails. If you already have British pounds in a bank in GB.. buy now.... the pound is about twice the value as USD.

Well, ain't that mildly discouraging?  :lol:

Happy Trails is what i'd be aiming for. Unfortunately, moves aren't cheap and i can't release too much in the way of funds. I'm already trying to save up a lil more for a quality rear shock, so expenses are gonna be adding up.  :(

Luggage anyone? Aaaaanyone?

You don't need bags, you have gorilla glue.

You gonna be at PJ's tonight?

To answer the ? my 02 did not come with any bags.  I found a new set (the locks were not even installed yet!) on ebay for less than $200.  Got the mounts for less than a hundred, used, from a fellow tt member.  

I was having a REALLY hard time finding the mounts and was about to give up and buy aluminum panniers (the cheapos from klr.net) when Geof chimed in volunteering his mounts to me.  Thanks dude!

So...set of side-bags, Lucifer orange.

I have seen older color bags go for better money than the usual black/blue/grey/green stuff. I sold my Lightning Yellow bags a few years ago for what I thought was decent $$ ($400 IIRC). You might be in luck if you can find a buyer who needs this "old" color. YMMV. Be sure to plan your metal bag purchase so they are delivered before you leave the country - this can take some time.....

Boise is a 5 hour ride  :D

I just need someone that's interested in mine. If not, no biggie, they do the job.

Will you stop it with the logical comments please?

Now if you'll excuse me, i have to see about blowing more money on a decent rear shock.

You are assuming they are in stock and ready to be mounted.....
