Why not ebay it ??

Our old Swift got damp last winter when it leaked We found another van we loved so bought that one. We were told we would be lucky to get £100 as scrap for our old van. I put it on ebay starting at £130  and it sold for £465

Did you advertise it as having damp ?

Yep advertised as having damp and that there was a leak from one of the skylights basically said everything that was wrong with it so there could be no come back on me

Winner didn't bother to come to look at it until after he had won it but even then he came and picked it up saying he wanted a project

Very true  I was very surprised that no one actually phoned wanting to view the van there were a few calls asking how bad the damp was or how bad the leak was. 

 I feel really sorry for first time buyers who are duped on ebay and end up with a wreck of a van hence why I was careful enough to advertise stating has damp etc and would suit person looking for a project.

 I mean the van wasn't too bad but it was a 1991 year and had got wet when the skylight started leaking over last winter. Yes I wanted rid of the van but I wanted to make sure who ever bought knew what they were getting
