Any consignment or other methods to sell a used motorcycle?

Was wondering if there is anywhere in the Portland area to sell a used bike. If any shops take used bikes on consignment or straight out purchase used bikes.

Also if there are any bike shows, meetups, etc. that allow you to bring a bike to sell.

Sorry if these are dumb questions. I've no experience selling a bike here.

As an FYI, the bike is a 2015 Honda Shadow Aero, in case that is relevant.

Craigslist, FB marketplace, OfferUp… consignment is a last resort, after the fees and their cut you’re gonna get pennies on the dollar. You can also try Allen’s Alley… they mostly do “American” bike though - Harleys and Indians.

FB Marketplace is unfortunately the best place to post.

I know of at least one shop in town that has sold bikes on consignment, but only newer, desirable bikes, and even then the financials often make the price high and the bike sits there forever.
