The main difference is if you want to give it away, in which case it will probably go quickly, vrs SELLING your coach, which takes a little work. I sold my last coach within two weeks for substantially above NADA high value. I used Craigslist and did not worry about a bunch of BS replies. My eye was always on the outcome. I knew from previous listings what most buyers are worried about so I addressed them in the listing. I added to my price an extra $3000 for new tires and mentioned in the ad that I would install the customer's choice of tires or give them back the $3000 credit. My last buyer paid top dollar and asked for Micheline snow tires all of the way around, front and rear. Living in Florida I had to have them trucked in but he was happy and there was no further negotiation. As it turned out they wanted to use the coach for Winter travel to ski resorts and the tires worked great for that. Mention how new your batteries are because that is something people ask about. Have all of your service receipts and have all current maintenance up to date. Basically make sure that the coach is ready to go immediately on a trip. I even offered to pay for an out of area buyer to stay in a local RV park for one night so that we could go over all of the coach systems. Best $50 I spent and the new buyers were thrilled. What makes the difference is how confident you are with your coach. If the buyer senses that you are sincere and willing to go the extra mile, they are very unlikely to want to negotiate the price down. My last two coaches sold for exactly my high asking price with a minimal amount of hassle. We also have a DMV office right up the road and the title is transferred as soon as I have the money in my account. If you have a good coach, and have confidence that it will stand up to a close inspection, then take a little time and SELL your coach rather than just list it for sale and lose thousands.
