Using prices people are asking for their RVs on Craigslist or RV Trader or any other website as the basis for what they are selling for is an exercise in futility. Some people price them high because they have to get that much to pay them off and can't sell them for less, doesn't make them worth that much. Some people price them high because they plan on discounting the price (look at the negotiating threads on these forums where people tell others looking to buy that if you don't get 30 percent off the asking price you shouldn't buy). Some rigs are priced high because price is often seen as an indicator of quality.
Then there are the low price rigs. Some are fairly priced. Some have hidden defects. Some are scams.
In my very limited dealings with selling at PPL in Texas, the price they tell you that the rig needs to be listed at is pretty close to the maximum you could ever expect to get for it. I have been a big critic of them in the past, but I will say the pricing model they use to determine price is fairly accurate.
If you have it listed on Craigslist, in a decent geographic market, at a time when there are shoppers (not last week in Baton Rouge during the flood) and you haven't had activity, it is priced too high. Something is only worth what someone will pay, no more.
Those dealers you are dealing with aren't letting you walk out the door because they would make too much profit if you trade at the numbers they were offering. I would venture to say, your rig is worth somewhere around $40k, just based on the fact the dealer is offering $35K and they probably want to make a 15 to 20 percent profit on a retail sale.
