Where to get realistic price

Only problem with evil-Bay is that they only list the past 60 days' listings. If you have an uncommon rig, you're likely to not find it, no matter how new it is.

I've heard it said that a realistic price for a private owner sale is to take the NADA low retail price with no options included and subtract 10%.

How about finding out the right pricing for a trailer, fifth wheel and Class A. Since there are no real MSRP the dealers basically get together and agree to pricing and then discount from there but the markup is HUGE so where to find the real pricing?

I think a lot of times the NADA price is considering "perfect" condition. (or should I say NEAR perfect-since nothing is perfect from the factory). I know several of you are going to tongue lash me, but NO! your unit is NOT perfect. I promise you I could find something that I would need to do to anybodys unit, before it hits the sale lot. I also promise, there would be something that I would miss. ---- This is the reason there is such a difference in "values" from "selling it" to "buying it", according to NADA and even KBB (on the car side).

Got to RVT.com. Input information as if you were to buy it.

For many products, I will use Ebay following auctions that have ended and see what people are willing to pay for that item. For me, that IS the value, what people will pay.

Check rvtrader. You will find lots of comparable models all over the country.

Where can I get a realistic price of what my fifthwheel is worth. I have seen nada but that price seems high.

First, are you wanting to sell it yourself or trading it in ?

If selling it outright, & you have time & a little patience, start high.

Over time, lower the price to the point that you start getting phone calls.

The market value for your area will find it's own level.

I agree the numbers given by nada are high. I checked them for the value of mine when it was about 4 yrs old and they valued it nearly what I paid for it. But I think the value given is based on the supposed MSRP which is typically much higher than the actual new sale price.

Google your model and you will probably see listing all over the country. And you will also see those listed prices vary a lot. And likely, most of those prices are higher than the seller is willing to settle for. So the best you can do is more or less take an average and decide if that is a number you can live with.
