Suggestions on Selling Trailer

Please help with places to advertise our trailer, want to buy new trailer and trade offers are too low, so want to sell ourselves. I know a lot of you have advertised and sold, so looking for ideas. Thanks

    Really? Have sold many and NEVER got such an absurd offer!
  • Sold 3 different campers on Craigslist, and 3 pickups. Price em right and they will go!
  • I have sold 2 on creigs list. First one took two hours, second one less then an hour. cASH only. Have the trailer perfect, price it right. Give a good description of the unit, lots of photos and it will sell. Did I say make sure its perfect, price it right and cash only. Put that in the ad. Cash only.
