My 2017 quest for the perfect TT!

Here's the thing: unlike 25 years ago, when such info was not readily available, everyone looks at the NADA values before they buy anything. They can compare dozens of similar trailers by tapping on their phone. Everyone who reads your ad knows you are asking $1000+ more than market value. At that price they are expecting to see a pristine trailer, not one with a soft floor.

Drop your price to a realistic level and it'll be gone tomorrow.

I am not sure where you are getting your info at. At $6000, my TT is priced 740 below the average market value according to the very NADA you just quoted. The NADA says the AVERAGE value of my TT $6740. The LOW Value is $5590. My TT is in perfect shape for it's age. It needs nothing repaired to take it on the road. It is fully functional and ready to go. My asking price is very reasonable for my market and every person that has come out has said that the reason they came out so fast was because my trailer is the "BEST LOOKING" "LOWEST PRICED" on the market.

The issue is not my asking price. No one thinks it is high in this area. IN this area small trailer are at a premium and go for way more then larger trailers. The reason for this is that there are thousands of single guys needing little TT to live near their work place. Apartment rentals are insane here becasue of the high demand and shortage, so living in a small TT has become the go to for oil field workers.

Maybe where you are at my trailer is over priced, but not around here. People are beating down my door to see it and that is not because it is overpriced. The problem is they have no money to buy it. Not just no cash in hand, but no money in the bank or anywhere else. They have to go "TRY" to get a loan, and I am not willing to "HOLD" the trailer and turn down the flood of potential buyers, in the hopes that the bank will approve them. Why is that so hard to understand.
