Using Letgo to sell rv items

Has any body had any luck selling unused rv items on Letgo or Craigs list? How was the experience?

  • We bought our first moho on craigs list. It was located several hours from our home. emailed back and forth with the previous owner. Came to terms with him if the MoHo was as he described and went one weekend and picked it up. Handed him cash. Ours was a good experience.
  • We have sold 2 RVs on Craigslist and an Equalizer hitch system on Craigslist. We had trouble selling one of the RVs because when we first listed it, the economy was really bad. The second time we listed it, it sold within a few hours. It took about a week to sell the Equalizer. I think the first RV took about a week as well, that was about 12 years ago, so not positive on that.

    We have bought and sold plenty on Craigslist. Have never been disappointed with any of those transactions.

  • I've had good success selling my cast-off trailers on CL. Also my old Equal-i-zer hitch. Usually a month (or less) will do it if you have it priced fairly. Never heard of that other one you mentioned.

    In past experience with Craigslist I learned to expect calls from scammers. Also, I prefer not to deal with e-mail through Craigslist. Craigslist, while it does "work" to connect buyers and sellers, also seems to attract a number of bottom-feeders. You have to be cautious.

    Unused items= like spare 30 amp cord, extra generator, spare 5 gallon fuel tanks, screen rooms etc.


    All these things are new and unused? :B

    Duplicates of what I already had...

  • We sold our previous trailer on Craigslist. Use the same precautions that you would for selling anything else and you should be fine.
  • I dunno about RV items but I've sold a lot of stuff on Craigslist, and bought some stuff too. Maybe I've been lucky but I've not gotten a lot of scammer responses. I only deal with email so maybe that's part of it.

    The only thing I know about Letgo is that they advertise a lot on TV. That costs money so that tells me they're going to cost more than Craigslist. :)
