BEST PLACE TO SELL RV?

What is the best online classified site to advertise our rig for sale? Assume snowbird season down here in Arizona is a great time and we're done full-timing. Thanks
  • We sold ours 25 footer last month on Craigs list.

    The second people that looked at it bought it for $200 less than I had it listed for.

    The trailer was in perfect condition and they recognized it. We have had several calls from them since telling us how happy they are with it

  • Thanks for weighing in everyone. I've always had good luck with Craigslist--have sold thousands of dollars worth of stuff there in the past. So I put it on CL and RVT; good photos, long and thorough description, priced a little higher than my bottom line. Sold in 2 days close to asking price. On to the next adventure!

    Wherever you advertise it you will almost definitely get emails, offering full price plus extra money to pay a delivery service that will pick it up for them. This was just one of the scams I encountered when I had my old fiver up for sale. Usually, the first give away is that they say that they trust you and that your price is fair. They will gladly send you a (bogus) cashiers check.

    The English in the communication will usually have a few errors that give them away.

    I strung a couple of them along to see how far they would go. Then told them it would be a month before I could confirm the authenticity of their check. The word, "authenticity", threw them for a loop.



    I have fun with these idiots.
    I'll string all of them along for a long time.
    I've gotten cashiers checks & business checks with no routing or account numbers.:)


    To stay on topic though. I bought my current MH at PPL in Houston. I tried for a month to sell my 2000 Southwind myself. I didn't get any calls (except the scams). I drove it to PPL in Houston, they sold it the first weekend it was there. I got just exactly what I needed/wanted for it.
