For sale and financing my rv

I tried them a while back and didn't care for their service.

They promise to post your ad on more than twenty websites and keep the ad up until the unit is sold. They did neither of those two points. Only found our ad on four websites. Also we never received a single call on the trailer. Never heard from the company again even when I tried to contact them with questions.

Best of luck,
Craig

I placed a RV for sale on Craigslist at 9:20 PM on a Friday and it sold at 10:07 PM. I priced it right and provided lots of pictures.

I did have people contact me the next day wanting to know if I would finance the sale (they insisted they had excellent credit). No! I paid cash and you can bring me cash from your bank loan.

I have heard bad things about this organization. Anyone who offers a service for a fee that you could do for free is a bad idea IMHO. The exception being consignment who takes a percentage of usually about 10%. I sold my last MH on craigslist. Actually I've sold almost everything I wanted to sell on CL. Price it right and it will sell. Common sense usually cuts through all the spam responders you will get. As far as buyer financing, bank of the west brokers a lot of RV loans and they have a process in place to do everything for the buyer. They will order an appraisal, deal with bank payoffs etc. If you are leery, make sure you meet potential buyers in a public place like a mall parking lot. A lot of local police now offer monitored spaces to make exchanges for private sale items. When you finalize the sale you could always ask to do it like a closing at your local bank (or theirs) with a cashier's check or money transfer. A serious buyer will have no issue with any of that. They may actually prefer to do it that way as it's safer for all parties.

Be very careful about taking cash. It's a common scam on CL to put up an item for a really good price, and rob the buyer (item usually BS, picture stolen from ad in other region).

Make sure to meet in a very public place if you do.

very insistent in convincing me to place my add with them,

That should tell you everything you need to know....

Try rvtrader.. If you are a koa member, you get a free listing. Also, CL, and RVT. Those are the 3 we check daily in our pursuit for a DP. RVT seems to be higher end listings.
If you price it correctly, it should sell quickly.

What does selling have to do with financing your rv?

I'd start by trying Craigslist before you pay to run an add.

I recently sold a Suburban. Paid $100 for an AutoTrader ad that I didn't get a single call from. Had 4 very interested people all from Craigslist. Sold in about a week.

They also approached me. Tell them that you will need the cash upfront and see how fast they hang up.

I don't know anything about these people, but being a farmer I have advertised some farm machinery and you get a lot of calls from scammers who claim to have ready buyers, but you have out money up front and from what I have heard that you will never hear from them again.
