Thread: Is offerup legit?

Trying to buy a sportsbike on that app,. I've messaged like 20 sellers about their bikes and offered asking price on many of the bikes just to get a response

I've been doing this for nearly 2 weeks and haven't gotten a single response

All my offers only appear with one blue checkmark not two so I don't even think my offers are being seen

Anyone have this experience on that app?

Check the listing dates, there are a lot of OLD ads on there, and if that'sthe only thing they had listed they probably aren't checking their messages anymore. I've bought and sold a few things from there without major issues.

I never make offers on anything older than 3 months, sometimes the ad will be from 1 or two days before I message and still I get no responses

Wtf is going in with that app

I've tried to use that app, its complete chit.

IDK about buying, but if you list something to sell you immediately get like 20+ fake accounts trying to get your phone number. I don't think I've seen evidence that any of the users or listings I interacted with are real.

I feel you G, any miscers in socal looking to sell their old Gixxer? I'm looking for a 600cc 08 model or later. PM me.

Do not buy motorcycles on offerup unless it's a 300cc which you believe was never dropped at speed.

99% of motorcycle owners don't know how to do anything more than an oil change. If it's around 11k miles, either they pay a dealer to do the valve lash adjustment $1000, or they ride that **** until it burns a valve and blows the motor. If it's above 11k miles it better have proof of it having a valve lash adjustment otherwise it's going to melt a valve or drop a valve on your next ride.

I bought a 600cc motorcycle which appeared good but nearly every bolt that the average joe would have access to, was stripped and I had to extract 4 bolts. I also had to drop the motor and split the case to replace the timing inspection cover since the plug was stripped as well. Also had to drop the swing arm and undo the exhaust to replace the oil pan since the oil plug was stripped to. Was a nightmare of a bike but now it runs like a dream. Luckily even though it was wheelied to hell, the valve clearances were exactly at their service interval so I know the motor still has an another 20k miles before another valve check is needed. The transmission is probably another nightmare, but the good thing is bikes get wrecked so often that the parts get auctioned off and you get cheap replacement stuff. You can find transmission gears for motorcycles with less than 1k miles on them for a few hundred bucks.

I bought a sweet camry off offerup which only had rear end damage that was fixed. I got under the car and checked all the frame rails, for 60k miles and all the dealer maintenance it was an absolute steal.

I like FB marketplace. About the only thing useful on FB.

It just pulls listings from other places like Facebook marketplace, Craigslist and Ebay.

I tried FB marketplace but it says I can't access it. From what I saw before I logged in to my account was its mostly the same bikes as offerup ads
