The same principle applies at any point in the overall scale of pricing.
That is why there are motorcycle dealers in existance; it is they who are actively in the market, constantly, and who buy at trade prices and sell at consumer prices, thus covering their own costs and making a living by practice of their trade.
In contrast, quite a number of private sellers appear to want to sell their bike at near enough to a dealer's price without providing any of the attendant services of those dealers.
Nor am I saying that it can't be done, but it does involve time and some effort equivalent to that expended by the dealers.
e.g. not least, you have to find a buyer who sees value in your offering after having found a seller who did not fully realise the full value of their machine when they passed it on to you (and that short answer neglects other factors such as the mileage that you have added to the bike in the interim).
ps
Some dealers offer such a service. A buy back scheme basically but they won't guarantee a buy in price = that will depend on the condition of the bike when you return to them.
