I have had great results selling a Class C and a Class A on Craigslist in the last few years. Post 8 good pictures with a good complete description of your motorhome including options, any upgrades you might have done and how you maintained it. Have another
25-50 pictures available to email prospective buyers.
There are scammers on Craigslist but most will be through email and they are not that hard to spot.
I always include my cell phone number in the ad and make them call or text if they want more info or pictures. When listing your phone number, always use this format: 817-22four-9265. When you use text for one of the numbers, it eliminates any computer generated text messages. Also add NO EMAILS right after the phone number information.
Typically if someone is really interested they won’t have a problem calling you and providing their email address for the additional pictures.
I typically meet them at my house and if they want to test drive, I go with them. On both of my units the first folks that test drove them bought them.
As far a pricing goes, NADA is a good starting point but very few sellers seem to be getting the NADA numbers in today’s market. Look online at Ebay and Craigslist to see what folks are asking for similar models and look at Ebay completed auctions to see what they are actually getting. If you are priced too high on Craigslist you won’t get any calls or emails. Get the price close to market value (not NADA) and the buyers will find you.
Both of my buyers paid with certified banks checks.
I just sold my BMW convertible on Craiglist recently and shipped it to Florida. Same deal, certified bank check deposited and cleared prior to sending title.
I have sold thousands of items on Ebay and hundreds on Craigslist without any issues or falling for any scams. Send me a message if you would like any more info on the process.
Hope this helps
