We've just sold a van.  I put it on here, Preloved, Gumtree, Ebay as a classified (£15) & on Caravanfinder (£35).  Within the 1st week we had an enquiry through Preloved but they needed to change their towcar.  Over the next week there were 15-20 people watching on ebay but no enquiries or viewings. 

After 2 weeks I put it on Caravanfinder but on the same day the 1st person who'd enquired through Preloved phoned & came to see it.  We agreed the price & took a deposit.  Over the week from there to handing the van over we had enquiries coming out of our ears!  Most from ebay with a couple from Caravanfinder & one guy off Preloved wanting to swap it for a static!

good results

That's exactly why we did ours as a classified ad rather than an auction.  That way you can decide whether or not to accept any offers & the deal itself is done outside of ebay.  It costs £15 for 28 days advertising whereas I worked out if we sold as an auction it would have cost over £200. 

Plus you probably won't get the price you want - we bought our new van on an ebay auction Saturday night (after viewing Saturday afternoon) & paid a lot less than we expected (£5250 for an immaculate 2005 5 berth Swift).  I'd have been gutted to have sold my van so cheap but you only get what people bid.  Our max bid was much higher but nobody bid against us so that was the price we paid.

I brought my caravan of gumtree, today have just sold it, again ad went on gumtree on sat, sold today.

Good luck

We put our caravan on here,our local tesco, ebay (classified), caravanselecta and the caravan club website.  Most enquiries came from ebay 58 people where watching but I put sold subject to viewing on my listing and ebay removed the listing. Still waiting for the ebayers to collect and pay.
