Consignment Sales Experiences

I think the most important thing to keep in mind, whether selling through a consignment dealer, Craig's list or RV traders is to make sure your asking price is realistic. Every time I visit a RV dealer they have a few rows of tired, unwashed products in their back-lots. I finally figured out that they often, and obviously had been there for years. Price it right and it will be gone in 30-60 days. If it goes longer than that (except during the winter) it is over priced. Here is a good example. I traded my 2011 Jayco trailer in on a new 2015 Starcraft back in June (a good selling month). I followed my trade on their website, and their asking price was more than I paid for it back in 2011, it's not going to sell! They dropped the price last fall, but it was too late. It is still for sale, but the price is still about $3000 over what it is really worth.
