Hi

I am trying to sell my 2006 LMC caravan at the moment with little success. It is such a nice caravan and very high spec. I have reduced the price down and down but still nothing. I can not go any lower on price and have run out of ideas on selling it. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

Sam

As I've been trying to sell my van, I know the situation well.  It seems that people want something for nothing.  I was offered £500 less than the asking price for my van and the person got the hump as I said no.

I was just wanting to get a slightly bigger van so I don't actually have to get rid of mine, it was just a case of wanting a little more room.  It seems I'm not meant to get rid of the van so I will stick with it rather than take well under what it's worth.

It's depressing I know but why not stick with your LMC unless, of course, you're having to get rid of it and not replace it for example.

Have you tried a classified ad on eBay which costs £12.99 for 28 days and there's no other fees involved at all.

Sam,

Free advertising and people wanting caravans here + advertise here £30 till sold, local papers and eBay as well.

Good luck

Mick & Tina - you're first link to Locate a Caravan, they also have someone ring you and try to charge £50 until such times the van is sold.  I had a call from them but was'nt about to part with £50 as I don't know what their success rate is.  Do you know?  Their chap rang me, very smooth talker, took lots of details and then asked for my card number although no mention at beginning of conversation about their charges!

You do get the free advert although I had a job to find mine at times.

Most calls came from Preloved ad.

Hi

Thank you for all your ideas. I have tried ebay and some 3 cheeky ****s offered me £500 for it. It has been in mags and papers since march 4th with very little response. It is a stunning caravan but 8ft wide. It would be perfect for leaving on a seasonal pitch or for somebody doing a self build and needing a home for a few months. I am not a traveller and put my home number as a contact to try and show I do live in a house. I would love to keep the caravan but have recently moved house and just dont use it and it is a shame to see her just sitting in storage unused and unloved.

Well thank you again and I will just keep trying and crossing my fingers.

Regards

Sam

A the datails of the caravan are as follows

LMC Dominant 640 RBD 2006 model. 4 berth, air con, oven. hob, gas and electric blown air heating, fixed island bed, end bathroom, seperate shower, large water boiler, 12v, 2 sky sockets in living room and on outside of the caravan. We will sell with aqua roll, waste master, battery, hitch lock, wheel clamp, sky dish and tripod. It has only been used for three weeks on the Isle of Wight and has been in storage since. It has a small crack in one work surface but other than that it is is vgc. We do not smoke and we never cooked in it. The oven has only ever been lit to test as has the hob. It was purchased from Continental Caravans in Wales and other than the door being on the wrong side it is english spec. It cost £17,500 new and I am asking only £11,750 now for a quick sale. If anybody knows where I may have any luck selling it then please either e mail me at saminglis05 at aol.com or call me on 01634 683956.
