Sounds like you've got a good, used Blasty on your hands with some mods that just isn't needed anymore. The problem when selling it is that there are plenty more similar ones out there. You have to convince potential buyers why your quad is better than the other ones like it.

$ 1,700.00 is a bit high of an asking price, if you ask me. I know the quad is probably worth at least that much, but people will only pay market price. Here in North Texas, that market price isn't very high. Browsing DFW Craigslist today, I saw two Banshees for $ 1,400.00 each, an '05 Rappy 660 for $ 1,500.00, and an '05 YFZ 450 for $ 1,200.00. All of these quads were in running order and needed no (or very minor) work. Some have been listed for over a week and have yet to sell. I'm tempted to grab that Rappy for myself (as much as I despise 4-stroke sport quads!) seeing as it only needed rear axle bearings....

My ramblings aside, I'd ask $ 1,200.00 or so for your Blasty and see what kind of response you get. The price can always be adjusted if needed. You just never know who's watching the ads...
