Only 1500 miles, what are you upgrading to?

Have you done the mandatory crash yet?

Now something useful -- I think the markets on used 250's have huge variation depending on where you are etc. I think the only relevant number is what they're selling for near you.

Check CL in your area and see what folks are asking for theirs, then price it accordingly. Good luck with the sale

This. I can find a new-gen 250R around this area for about $2,500.
A friend of mine in Toronto can't find any below $4,500. Try checking craigslist or something, like Sean suggested.

Ask your dealer what he would give you for the bike as a trade in and then see if you can get more for it on the open market or go with the dealers offer.

So for someone in Toronto its worthwhile to buy from someone in AL even with the $500 and whatnot in shipping and you still come out $1500 cheaper.

Pretty much, yeah, except you should only do it if you know someone who lives in the area to pick it up and ship it.
