*not an attorney
When you have spouses that are pretty unreasonable you usually have to end up getting legal counsel. Sounds like the items you both had 50/50 claim to, except the motorcycle which he may have a more than 50% claim to. It doesn’t really matter that you paid for them, it was marital earnings during the marriage. You would be able to recover your part of equity in these items as part of equitable distribution, so you would to file before your divorce is finalized.
You’ll have to negotiate with him, or file for ED. He’ll have to account for all the marital property he sold at settlement time.
