Ebay to sell 5th wheel

Have any of you ever used eBay to sell or buy a 5th wheel? We need to downsize due to health issues. We advertised our 5th wheel on Craig's list and RV Trader, but we were thinking of other places to advertise.

Does anyone have any experiences with eBay and RVs?


Thanks!
  • For me, I would not use Ebay for an RV purchase. An RV purchase is a regional thing, not world wide.
  • I've bought and sold lots of stuff on eBay, including an RV and a truck, with no issues.
  • We bought our first 5er on Ebay, it went better than buying from the dealer!
  • I bought my present rig a Montana 3475 on E Bay. It has been the best purchase I have ever made. After winning the bid. I drove to the sellers location to finalize the deal. It seemed to good to be true so I was afraid of a scam of some sort. All went well though.
  • I,VE sold lots of things on ebay good selling. just be aware theres scammers out there.do everything by the book. and don,t fall for any sad stories.
  • I have sold a couple motorhomes on eBay. It's a good way to find potential buyers. Most buyers will want to inspect the unit before they close the deal which is reasonable. Be as detailed as you can on the description, what's good, what's not. Take and post lots of pictures and be prepared to answer a lot of questions. eBay will take a fee to post the unit, typically a small amount, and then a percentage of the final sales amount.
