What's a 1989 Suzuki GS500E that isn't running worth?

Update:

I have a 1989 Suzuki GS500E motorcycle that I'm the original owner of and I haven't ridden in years. It has always been garage kept and covered up. It has 5300 miles on it. The bike doesn't run anymore because it has been sitting for so long. How much should I ask for it?

    You'd get more parting it out honestly.. Or a scrap yard if you have the title

    Any object is worth whatever you can find a buyer willing to pay.

    Craigslist it starting at $1900 (which is a number I pulled right out of my ... hat).

    Delete and reupload that ad every two days.

    When it doesn't sell in a week, lower the price.

    When it doesn't sell in a month, clean out the fuel system, change out the oil, replace the battery, give it a checkup, get it running. Then Craigslist it again at $1900.

    Note: If there are big DMV fees due on that, no one will want to buy it. Better check that situation too.

    If you took an hour or two and got it running, you could sell it for about 2-4 times the price of it in non-running shape...

    Or give it to me :)
