I'm searching for a bargin at the moment and a few things stike me -

always e-bay - cheap as chips to advertise comes up on all google searching.Quality photos inside and out.  Cant understand why people put endless external shots.  The interior is essential viewing and I would want a plain pattern not red stripes.  If there are bunks then I would want ot see them in place.  If there is an awning again I would like to see nice pics.  All pics have to be in focus!!! Pictures sell and thats a fact.

Detail the faults and sound honest I love this.

Location is a problem I will travel but not to scotland. Perhaps location yr limits travel?

I know it sounds harsh but we sell a lot on e-bay lots of plant and machinery and the value of an item is market controlled  and you can value an item but its only worth what the highest bidder will go and I have this argument with my OH all the time when he values items.

I would put it on ebay for bidders (not classified) at a realistic price -so start at 500 less than the min and if you get no interest put it on 3 times, if after that nothing then you have to accept that there are better deals to be had. Sadly you win some you lose some on 2nd hand items.

Best of luck!

Totally agree split ends, just had to let my 1999 fleetwood countryside go to ,the travelling community, He travelled 100 miles then tried to knock me down. guess who had the upper hand. Sold it for peanuts anyway but told them exactly what faults were.

Didnt move on price, so he paid it, awaiting new van, only three weeks, yeahhhhhh

got to agree good pictures sell items ,just bought a bradcot portico porch awning at a knock down price ,bad bad photos ,awning laid on gravel not erected ,couple of other pics with it colours totally wrong .got it for £50 its in as new condition and we have just tried it on van ,totally perfect .so the bargains are out there .

the other problem i can see with with selling the o/p's van is he lives in fife ,two things spring to mind scotlands a long way away for a lot of buyers ,and unfortunately scotland seems to be a prime area for the e/bay scammers to work from ,so unless the o/p has good feedback to start with any buyer will be wary .

I have a question we are currently selling our caravan we have owned it for 5years but i dont think i completed the cris registration when we bought it from previous owner.

Is it worth having it registered or are buyers not that bothered anyway?

cheers

van is on ebay now and i have nearly 600 100% feedback score and ad clearly states cash in hand only so if that appears to look like a scammer ad then i dont know what else to do
