The very best way to get maximum sale price out of a bike, car,boat, motorcycle, or house is to detail, detail,detail it. Make it "look" like new or little used by cleaning it, polishing it, fixing any little problems etc. so that a buyer will want what he sees.

No one wants a dirty beat up P.O.S.!
