Typical cost of selling via consignment?
Just wondering about the cost of having a consignment place sell a Class A motorhome. Is there a base $ amount or a percentage they charge?

We sold our 2013 Cougar last Fall through a local consignment dealer. He came to the house inspected the unit, told us what the "Blue Book" was and what he thought they could sell it for. The charge would be 10% of the selling price and a 200$ inspection fee when it sold. He stated this is the amount that should be asked for this unit whether you sell it or I sell it.
We called him back a few days later and said OK, he came and got the trailer towed it to their lot, did the cleanup and prep work and put it on the sales lot. Five days later he called and said "Come and pick up you check", and we did.
The contract we signed gave them the right to retain the unit for 60 days and offer it for sale, we maintained the insurance and license during this time, we also retained the "pink slip".
No fuss no muss and no hassel.
Would I use them again, you bet.
