What if selling a motorcycle is surprisingly tedious, isn’t it? <\/span><\/strong>
I get asked about selling bikes from time to time…

Naturally,
the “seller” <\/strong>wants a high price, while the “buyer” <\/strong>wants a low price\u2014that’s always the case. <\/span>
In short, this back-and-forth is a hassle,

and ideally the bike would go to someone who really wants it for a price above your asking amount. <\/span><\/strong>
A new system called KATIX (Kachi-check) might just save all that trouble and build a new era. <\/p>\n\n\n\n(To find out your bike’s current price, use Kachi-check) <\/a>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A new system that directly connects users and bike shops. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The flow works like this.
Bike shops compete to buy the motorcycle you want to sell\u2014that’s the kind of system it is.

On Yahoo Auctions and similar platforms, individuals compete with each other, but here the competition is among bike shops instead.
“High anonymity, no fees, price negotiation possible, and you don’t have to sell if you don’t want to.” <\/span><\/strong>

If you’re not satisfied, you don’t have to sell <\/span><\/strong>\u2014it’s a fantastic system.
Since the buyer is a bike shop, you don’t have to worry about title transfers or deregistration at all. <\/strong>


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anonymous appraisal! What everyone wants to know is the “buyback price range” <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What I found great about Kachi-check is the ability to check the buyback price range through anonymous appraisal. <\/span><\/strong>
Since each bike has its own character, complete anonymity might be difficult.
However,
being able to get a rough idea of what the buyback price range is extremely helpful. <\/span><\/strong>

If you’re thinking about maybe selling, I’d say try getting an appraisal once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how it flows! I tried entering the appraisal partway through. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The input screen is very simple and easy to understand.
The deciding factor is really the photos, so I recommend shooting on a sunny day in good condition.

Finding someone who wants to buy or wondering how much it would sell for on Yahoo Auctions\u2014it surprisingly takes time.
With the traditional way of selling, <\/strong>
if you want to get rid of it quickly, you get a “low” price, <\/span><\/strong>but if you wait and have time, you get closer to your “asking price”\u2014that’s the impression I get. <\/span><\/strong>Being able to casually find out the real market price is incredibly helpful.

And now we have this wonderful system that’s anonymous and costs nothing.
If this system becomes widespread, I think fewer people will use Yahoo Auctions, Mercari, or trade-in buyouts.
Everything is done online and the tedious back-and-forth is reduced, so buying and selling becomes very efficient.


If you’re thinking about maybe selling, why not just get an appraisal first? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Of course! Put your best effort into photography and washing. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The appraisers judge based on the information you enter and the photos, so your effort really matters! <\/span><\/strong>
It’s fun to check the market price even for bikes you’re thinking about selling or ones gathering dust.
Use this as a reference and cheers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n(It’s worth checking your bike’s current price too) <\/a>\n\n\n\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n
