Hi All.

I am going to sell my Raclet TT and want to know if I am better off selling as a private add or should I take it to a dealer to let them sell it for me.

Does anyone know how much a dealer is likely to want as commision or do they simply buy it from you.

I will be buying a FC and should I consider offering the TT as part exchange or will I be getting offered considerably less than its true value by doing it this way.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Cheers Tony P.

Hi

I'd sell it privately as a dealer won't offer you anything like you'd get from a private sale.

There are freeads on ukcs, preloved and gumtree if you want to try those 1st and if it doesn't sell then try ebay though you will then have to pay extra fees.  Though if you are willing to sell it before the ebay listing ends then you don't have to pay the extra fees.  People will ask you for your buy it now price and you could add on the listing that it is advertised elsewhere.

I've watched stuff being sold that way all the time and if there is something i am interested in i will email the seller for their buy it now price.

Sell privately.

I recently sold our TT via preloved after contacting a dealer last Oct. He said he'd only offer £700 as he'd have to pay VAT when he sold it. I sold it for £1200.

From watching Ebay I'd say we'd have got a lot more selling our Camplet than we did trading it in, but we wanted the simplicity and a straight swap so were willing to take the hit.
