thanks for all your advice.but hopefully i have found the caravan we want and the dealer offered a reasonable price plus a couple of extras new battery,free motormover swap and awning at cost price. up till now all the dealers we have approached have wanted to give us next to nothing for are van which in are opinion was far better than some of the stuff they had on their forecourts,i know they have to make a profit but why try and rip people off

I've sold some things on ebay recently, bikes & cycling related items.

The cons are the fees charged by ebay and because I hadn't set a reserve, 2 of the items sold for about £10 each less than I had hoped, but.

The pros are I didn't have to wait for phone calls from people responding or not to adverts, only for them not to turn up or offer amounts ridiculously below the advertised price. The price is fixed when the auction ends and there are no arguements about the price, and 3 of the items I sold collectively sold for about £60 more than I expected.

I totally agree with Rune caster, we recently bought a caravan we first saw on preloved and agreed a price with the seller (it was 2.5hrs drive away) subject to it being as described in the advert. This was on the Monday, the same evening we saw the same van advertised on ebay with a starting bid of 9.5k and BIN 10.5k. We spent the whole week worrying they would get a better offer or someone would press the BIN button. Even up until the morning we travelled we were still expecting a text or email saying sorry. It all worked out in the end and we breathed a huge sigh of relief when we hitched the van onto the car and drove off.

Oh your little ABI looks fab!  We have an ABI but it's just a bit big to take to some of the rallies we go to, so we have now decided to look for something we could tow with a trike - I wonder if something like yours would fit the bill?  Shame you are so far away from us!
