do you have the link for her ????

My husband always says that the lower starting prices always seem to sell.  The only other things that could possibly have put a few people off other than the higher starting price is the lines down the background were a bit off putting, the only times to view were Saturday evening and Sunday and the caravan being advertised elsewhere! 

I don't mean to have a go or anything but am giving what i hope you will take as constructive criticism to help sell your 'van.  You obviously don't want to accept less than £8000. and i don't blame you because i'd be the same and deciding on a starting price is a hard task on small items let alone on a caravan.  I couldn't even hazard a guess on what kind of starting price might make it sell but hope that if you do the 2nd chance selling thing that this time it will sell.  Maybe if you do relist put down that you are having an open viewing day on the Sunday (rather than only available to view then) and interested parties should email for your address or something similar?  I know when i was looking for a 'van and it said advertised elsewhere i always thought that it wasn't worth asking about it as it's probably already been sold so by the time i could get there it would have gone.  But that is just me lol.

Have you had any interest from advertising elsewhere?

Hope that you find a buyer really soon so that you can move on, it must feel as if you can't until that's all settled :(

As many informative photos that you can get..good quality, people spending that amount of money won't part with it easily. if there is a dent or a mark , show it. be absolutely honest, most people bidding won't be able to see the van in the metal.

I sold an awning on Ebay last week, it was up against an identical one..my pictures showed the "actual" awning erected from all angles and a close up of a small tear. the rival one showed a badly scanned brochure picture and a photo of the awning half erected, sagging and looking very sad......I got £103 and they got £23

do the add then stand back and ask, would i look at this, is all the info there that i need,

I didn't see your add cos the listng had ended, but as suggested here maybe the Classified Add is the route to take for a high value item. have a look and see what similar vans are going for and state your price is negotiable.

This is probably the best time to sell because of the increased interest in camping this year, but as every one else will be thinking the same thing there will be a huge choice of vans on the market so be realisitic. I really hope you get a satifactory conlusion. Everything is crossed here for you.
