There are some price guides here that might help.  Your van looks really nice - hope you get a good price for it!

i would expect at least a grand with awning.if you can hang on and relist just before easter you will do a lot better.

You will get messages from dodgy people asking if you will take a silly price (have been known to do it myself) they don't care what they buy - they are just going to move it on for a quick profit.

Ignore them unless you get one that is near what you think it's worth.

If it doesn't sell you may still get messages offering to buy it. I think these are very dodgy.

Remove your number plate from the pic's before someone clones your car.

The awning must be worth £500 + on its own it looks nice though

The door lock is loose,it can lock and unlock ok but you can take the outer cover off whilst it is still locked.

Can you not glue the cover on? then that is one less negitive

We no longer have that car so not worried about that.And good point about the door lock cover will do that ;-)

Have got a genuine buyer coming a long way to view tomorrow so fingers crossed!

You have listed it without a reserve so if you only get 1 bid of £500 you will have to sell it at that. You have stated you require paypal deposit but most buyers would want to pay cash on collection & nothing in advance if they have not veiwed the caravan beforehand so this may put off bidders, you can modify the listing.

People cancel "no reserve" auctions in the last minutes all the time. Most "no reserves" are just another con.

Well quite, but for the purpose of this thread I'm assuming the op is a 'responsible' ebayer.

Yesi am a resposible ebayer and so no i wont be withdrwing it from auction at the last minute!What i get is what i get,id be happy to get £1000 but if not then so be it,all will be funds towards my newer Van and i cant wait!;-)

Damp always sets bells ringing...... to break the van and sell the best bits will bring in £1000 if you sell them in the Spring when everyone wants to convert their Transits to motorhomes for Glastonbury etc.

I know - I did it last year!
