Hi all, I live in England and i am selling my 250r so I can buy my first car... Do you think I will get more money if I brake it down and sell all parts seprate or sell it all in one?

Ohlins front shocks,
Pep rear shock,
Wider rear axle,
Wider a arms,
Douglas wheels (rear two a daneged),

Well due to the fact your in england i think it depends on the market of people who follow the 250r over there unless your going to ship everything to the USA

if a market to sell the parts is similar to here in the states(which i doubt) you'll make more parting then selling whole as usual. but i think there is not as many people interested in old 2 strokes in england as the states just looking at the member population here.

Would people pay for the postage cost?

I'm thinking people would only be willing to pay extra postage if you have nice parts, but if there just run of the mill, people will probably just rather buy it here.

Probably best to either sell whole there, following the rule of supply and demand. there is very little supply over there so for anyone who wants one over there is going to pay a premium to get one. your better off finding some over there who wants an R and sell it as a whole and it will probably bring more money and actually sell completely rather than parting half of it out and get stuck with the rest.
