Guys will need some help this week end a mate has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and hasn't got long. The thing is he has like 20 trials bikes and normal bikes plus #$%* so much stuff he has to get rid of asap im talking triumphs Honda Kawasaki and yamahas have to go down saturday and take photos and try and sort it out but wanted to ask would he be better of selling as a bulk lot or individual he dosent want to f^%$k around just has to clear em all out

Fk mate, that's bad news, sorry to here it, poor bloke.
Only my opinion, but if you've got time and energy I'm sure selling the stuff individually would be better, or at least divided up into Brit/Jap/US or whatever, so that buyers with a bias one way can just buy what they're interested in...
Sounds like a big job though.....if I was closer I'd offer to help.
Pretty obvious, but don't let on that you're desperate to sell....will only push the price down, don't know his circumstances but if he's got family etc he might want to sell for good prices to help them out??
Gumtree seems to get good results, some prefer it to ebay.
Good luck with it all mate, and my sympathies.
Peter.

Sh!t mate, the big C is a cruel bastard.  I've lost a few family members from it, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago, she beat it thankfully but she is on high alert for any relapse.
