A few tips for writing your ad for your used bike or e-bike

Each year, advertisements for second-hand bicycles on platforms for the sale of items between individuals comptent in million. The second-hand bicycle, whatever its genre (vintage, mountain bike, VAE, fixi, etc.), is one of the most resold or exchanged second-hand objects on the Internet. Here we offer you a new way to find a used bike or sell yours.

We have suggested a few points to remember to better sell your bike. They are well known to professionals using professional platforms to sell their used bikes as quickly and at the best price. We invite you to retain what is appropriate of these good methods for your next sale on vente-son-velo.com.

1. Take 3 or 4 photos of your bike

An ad without an original photo is consulted nearly seven times less than those presenting at least one descriptive photo of the object. It is therefore essential to provide beautiful photos of your VAE, e-bike, used mountain bike or road bike to obtain the sale of it.

For this, the smartphone that never leaves your hand will be your best ally. Take pictures of your bike in an environment conducive to it. Photos taken in the back of a garage or on a balcony may not express the potential of your bike. Choose a bright, unobstructed background to create the best possible contrast for your bike.

The choice of photos

For a second-hand mountain bike, a photo in the forest and for a road bike on a path that you are used to frequenting for example. These photos will always make you want more than that of a child's bike at the back of a garage with the only light being the flash of your smartphone or that of the neon on the ceiling.

In addition, the first photo illustrating your advertisement must show your bike in profile up to it in its entirety. Without blurring, without backlighting and especially horizontally (landscape mode). Don't take photos from too high. This decreases the dynamism of the image and will visually reduce the size of your bike. Plus, you don't have to pose with your bike; -).

Take the time to remove accessories or equipment that you don't sell with your bike. For example, if you keep your carbon wheels, don't forget to refit the original wheels that you offer with your bike. You will avoid any confusion for potential buyers and especially waste time with your future buyers.

2. Strategically locate your bike situation

Capitalism has its faults, but it imposes a very simple golden rule. The higher the demand, the higher the prices. This rule also applies to your second-hand bike and even between individuals of course! Thus, although there are bicycle buyers everywhere in Switzerland, France and Belgium, the demand is much higher in the large cities. If you have the possibility to move to have your bike tested. We invite you to geolocate it wisely, that is to say to communicate a more strategic address than your possible alpine chalet in which you spend happy days with your cat.

Strategic location

Your listing near a train station or city center will increase your sales potential. You can then sell your bike for a little more than in the countryside. It is obvious that a buyer will always prefer to buy close to home. This in an environment that he knows earlier than taking his car or taking public transport to discover it. This is precisely the whole point of the geolocation offered on vente-son-velo.com.

3- Write an attractive ad title on vente-son-velo.com

Many individuals neglect the quality of the title of their ad when it is the first potential hook for buyers who will see your ad scrolling through the list of their search results.

The title should not be endless, but limited in number of characters. It should describe: Make, model and year of your bike. All other descriptions or arguments may be introduced when editing the ad. This is one of the many advantages of vente-son-velo.com.

We therefore recommend that you mention the model and the year of your bike. Even if these descriptions will once again be requested when editing comphead of your ad. The model designation can be a criterion after a search by brand, for example.

3. The advantages of specific descriptions of bicycles on vente-son-velo.com

In order to facilitate the search by several criteria such as: the brand, the model and the year, for example, your ad is offered at the right time and in the right place to the user of the platform. You don't have to worry about the clutter of the ads, your bike is categorized and visible to those who specify with ease of research.

This is why the description of your bike is made easy for you in the vend-son-velo.com forms. You don't need to be an expert to pick up on the qualities of your bike. The smooth running of the editing process performs this expert task for you.

We therefore recommend that you fill in as many fields as possible.

If, for example, you do not know the brand of transmission equipment on your bike (derailleurs), we recommend that you take a look and communicate it in the field provided for this. This is clearly worthwhile, as it is an important criterion for those who do not yet know it.

It is in order to avoid sellers having to list themselves the useful descriptions for the good presentation of their advertisements that vend-son-velo.com has created forms adapted to several types of bike: mountain bike, electric mountain bike, road and electric road bike (VAE) and electric or non-electric city and leisure bike.

Choose the right form and the proposed fields will be able to retain and communicate the useful essentials of the description of your bike.

Then if certain modifications or the state of certain compdaring deserve a precision, it will be useful to specify it in the traditional text field of the description of your ad.

This method simplifies the exercise for you and above all avoids any useless blah-blah which can corrupt the good referencing of your ad.

Thus the researcher can really compare identical bicycles with the same selection criteria.

4. Communicate with your potential buyer.

On vente-son-velo.com in addition to exchanges via e-mail, instant messaging is offered to users. It is therefore necessary to stay connected to the site for the duration of your sale if you want to react quickly and encourage an immediate purchase decision.

The telephone field of your advert on vente-son-velo.com is not mandatory. Your number is not visible, but you can be reached by clicking on the "Call" button. Of course, this does not exclude the risk of being bothered or bothered by false parasitic buyers. But it is rare that this is the case and your operator as well as your smartphone offers the possibility of blacklisting a number if this were to happen.

5. Set the right price for your bike

First of all, it is useless to indicate a price of 0.- and to add "Make offer" in the ad. Buyers on vente-son-velo.com do not like wasting time. If they go to this site, it is precisely because the auction of used bicycles does not interest them. With this type of approach, you complexify the sale and thereby keep potential buyers away.

Thus, to sell your bike at the right price, it should be offered at its true value.

This is unfortunately not sentimental, but it corresponds to supply and demand.

In case of doubt, we advise you to consult the store of the brand of your bike to determine a realistic price and close to the demand of the second-hand market.

If certain modifications increase the price of your bike, these will be able to attract the attention of experienced amateurs, so do not forget to specify it in all the fields which are proposed to you for this purpose.

Now you are ready to publish your first ad on vente-son-velo.com
