Consignment Sales Experiences

You ability to sell on Craig's list or any other source will be greatly determined by where you are located. Most buyers are going to want to see it before they buy it. If you are not located near a large population base, you are going to be severely handicapped in selling. Even a super low price will only help so much, since most people assume a rig priced well below market value has some kind of problem. That is where a consignment makes the most sense. They are located near major populations and since there are more than one rig there, customers go there. As for them calling you and trying to buy your rig for low dollars, it works. There are a number of people who are no longer interested in the cheese, they just want out of the trap. If you have $1000 a month payments plus insurance and storage costs on your Diesel Pusher, taking $20,000 less than you want might be better than spending a year trying to get your price and then finding out that the rig depreciated another $10000 in that year, so you can't get your price anyway. People making that analysis just might take wholesale value and let the retail sale be someone else's problem. Nothing you put in your ad is going to keep the wholesale buyers away. Just something you will have to deal with along with tire kickers, people who couldn't buy the mud flaps, much less the whole rig and people who don't show up for appointments. Good Luck.
