Well, after a lot of back and forth, we decided to sell FI's motorcycle
. It needed new tires, at his cost (he's an auto tech so he gets discounts) it would have been $500. We had to have our dog into the vet for 2 emergency surgeries last month at a total cost of just over $3,000. We couldn't afford to put new tires on it this year and he says he was going to trade it in towards something different in the spring anyways. We had it listed for $3,500, realizing that we would get closer to $2,800 once we factor in the cost of someone needing to pay for tires, so we were negotiable on that. We ended up selling it for $2,500 last night. We tried selling it a couple years ago, but I knew that he didn't want to and he was only doing it to try and pay for a ring. It broke my heart everytime someone came to look at it. So I finally told him he was crazy and I deleted the ad for it. We were going to keep it. He was so happy.
This year has been financially tough on us. Everything that could pop up, has. My car died twice, the dogs surgeries, stuff around the house.. it never ends. We sold the bike to the first guy that looked at it. FI didn't want to risk not getting another offer, and we were strapped, big time. I just feel so bad. I know he says he was going to trade it in in the spring so he might as well get what he can out of it now, cause a dealer would have given him less, but it sucks and I still feel awful.
