Old bikes have real value, even if you don't see it

Vintage Japanese cruisers from the 80s and 90s, early-2000s Harley Sportsters, dirt bikes from the dirt-bike boom (1995–2005), and Italian/British project bikes have surprisingly active resale markets. Parts buyers and restorers scan auctions weekly looking for the carb, the tank, the engine, the wheel set, the seat. A complete-but-non-running bike is worth more than the sum of its scrap-metal weight, often by 4–10x.

We don't need the bike to run. We don't need a current registration. We don't need clean cosmetics. If it has a frame, an engine, a tank, and most of the major bolt-on components, our auction partners can usually move it. The 1098-C reflects the actual sale price; for sales at $500 or less the no-receipt-needed FMV-up-to-$500 alternate applies.

What we need to pick up an old bike

The title (or know your state's rules for old-bike paperwork — many states have streamlined paths for bikes over 20 years old), a phone number, and an address where the bike can be loaded. If it's been in a shed since the 90s and the title is somewhere in a folder, we can usually still pick it up — just mention the title-status uncertainty during intake.

Bikes load easily. Even a fully seized engine doesn't slow the pickup — the trailer ramp + winch handles a static motorcycle in under 5 minutes. Total pickup time from arrival to departure is typically 10–15 minutes.

Common questions

How old is too old?
We've accepted bikes from the 1960s through current model year. Pre-war (1940s and earlier) we'd want to look at first — those sometimes do better through specialty consignment than auction.
What if it's mostly disassembled — parts in boxes?
Doable if the boxes come with the bike. Mention it during intake so the driver brings appropriate transport.
Will I get a meaningful tax deduction for a $600 old bike?
Your deduction is the actual sale price as reported on Form 1098-C, or fair market value up to $500 (no extra documentation) for sales at or under $500. At the 22% federal tax bracket, $500 is $110 in tax savings — plus state tax savings.
Can I donate a bike I bought to restore but never got to?
Yes — this is one of the most common donation profiles. Restoration starts that never finished are perfect candidates.
