I've serviced my self, its a very basic set up, visual check of shoes, physically check bearings, adjust brake if needed, its a twenty year caravan, and by the look of things worth under five hundred pounds, I'm not going to spend a couple of hundred haveing it inspected, serviced etc etc if that what it takes to sell it, well its not worth selling.
You wouldn't buy something for five hundred expecting to sell if for six and spend a week working on it would you.
No sod it, I will try on last time after holiday and then brake it. I could just let it go for pennies but I hate the idea of some chancer on eBay buying it for pennies. If I knew it was going to a good home maybe but not eBay.

Mads I like your thinking.
I don't mind eBay I have bought and sold lots on there over the years it just annoyes me when you get chancers emailing you all the time etc etc. I don't think eBay is as good as it use to be.
I am going to get some nice photos etc, I will give it a good clean and polish, put the awning up and set it out nice with a table in awning etc.
I think rather than spend money I will spend some more time next time.
I'm not spending money as its not worth it. Maybe a little tempter like, if the van reaches a good price I will pay to have it serviced. It would have to be a good price though.

I just sold a 2 berth 1991 swift Challenger on Ebay we had been told it was only worth £100 as scrap due to there being a leak and very spongy floor. I started it off at £130 which was the £100 we could get for scrap and the selling costs etc for ebay when the auction ended the van went for £465. I put pictures on showing the outside and inside and listed all the faults it had along with the good points

Although you do have to keep an eye on who's bidding as I had to cancel 1 bid as the guy had bid and won 3 caravans in the last 3 weeks and never made contact or paid/picked them up.

I'm going on holiday at the end of the month for two weeks so I might advertise it again then.

Don't get me wrong I can afford to let it go cheap or sell parts and scrap it but I really want to sell it for what its worth and someone enjoy it like we did.

By the way its a ,

A.B.I Daystar Award. 1992, 2 birth. Full pyramid awning with annex (didn't advertise the annex before), water drums and hook up lead included.

What do you think its worth in good condition.??
