Sold our first MH on Craigslist within 2 weeks of posting it. Had a ton of calls on it, 5 very interested in it. All came to look at it, kick the tires etc 2 came at the same time....

You must have listed your RV at VERY VERY good price! :B

we had been to pretty every RV dealership in the valley ,most RV's that were on consignment were so ridiculously overpriced it was laughable...

And that would be because the OWNER priced it too high!

When you put your RV on consignment they ask the OWNER what they want it priced at. Then they add their commission which is IMHO very low.

ALSO when it is on consignment buyers can put in an offer on it. The dealership calls the owner and ask if they will take the lower offer. It is then up to the owner if he wants to accept the offer or not.

So those high priced ones' you saw? Those are 'OWNER'S who think their RV's are 'worth way more' than what they actually are worth. NOT the dealer or the fact that it was on consignment.:W

At least around here it seems people want one of two type MH's smaller 21-25 ft or big ol barges ??
Seems the smaller ones carry a premium price . I bought the first one for $15K OTD , A 2001 GS Conquest sport 23ft with 19K on the OD drove it for two years sold it with something like 34K miles on it for $$19,500.00. All I did was front brakes pack the bearings and shocks front and rear and polished it /cleaned it up.

I know the blue book on MH's is just a suggestion , but like I posted above every single MH that was on consignment was way over and above any book price, even when I mentioned it to the salesman a couple even commented well we gotta get our part...
Well not from me they weren't...

I still feel CL and Private party is the way to go for selling and buying if your kinda handy and can know what your looking at/for...

Cheers and carry on..
