Anybody ever used motorhome depot brokerage service. Look ok with individual franchise dealers. Any thought welcome. Looking to part ex the van with them.
 
I haven't used them nor would I !!

So they don't tie money in stock probably insist on services hab checks etc get a kickback off the servicers and want a commission on the sale which could be yours ...I have a term for people like this along the line of leeches !

If you are selling a van you have the same internet outlets , upon sale cleared funds by direct bank transfer as good as it gets. And more to the point you get 100% proceeds of sale

Some snotty nosed oik telling you what your van is worth laying the deal is seriously bad news

Only my opinion of course but was in the motor trade , did we ever overvalue a Ferrari ? No of course not and one or two of the sms would pitch for a quick sale they got their commission but what about the mug whos car it was ?

Motorhomes work on the same basis sell private

you asked

I contacted them when I was selling our Winnebago last year. I had two replies saying they would contact me shortly, meanwhile, I put it on eBay and sold it the next day.
MHD contacted me 2 weeks later saying they would like an agent to see the van!
Too late I told them, it’s sold.
Didn’t stop them spamming me for months afterwards, even though I kept telling them the van was sold.
We are looking for another van, but seeing a van being sold by them now puts me off viewing them.
 
They seem to list most of them on eBay on your behalf, so why not list it yourself, then you don't have to pay them commission
 
Sold a Hymer last year contacted motorhome depot to find out about selling and you have to sign a contract like selling a house and get tied in for 12 weeks minimum and if you sell yourself before the contract end then you still are liable for their commission. Sod that!!

And I wouldn't buy a van through them as they are adding their commission to the price so in effect you are paying more for something which you could get elsewhere so many grand cheaper

Yes thanks for replies. I have seen a van i want priced within the right bracket and they offered me a realistic price for my van so in this case I will go ahead as it sorts my issue out of part exing my van for the price I want. Thanks. Just making sure it is not a scam company.
 
They are not a scam company, and if the figures work for you then there is no reason not to deal with them.
 
I used them to sell my last van, I did use them once before but I pulled out after the van hadn't sold for the price I wanted. You can negotiate a bit with the deal you get I was only willing for them to try for a shorter time & agreed a price a bit less than the usual commission. Used the same guy both times, did a good job taking the pictures & the description. You agree what price you want then they their commission on top but you have to be realistic you aren't going to get the forecourt prices but in my case I got more than any of the dealers were offering as a px against a new van. Also be warned that they will possibly try to get you to accept any offer that is lower than what you expect. As for the handover they do all the necessary work & are able to offer finance & warranties. Importantly you don't handover the van until the cash is in the bank, took a couple of coffees waiting to see the money transferred to my account. IMHO think of them a bit like the estate agents of the motorhome world, their primary goal is to make money from the deal, they are not your friend they are a go between, they do advertise on places like ebay & autotrader as well as many other websites so they take a lot of hassle out of it. They do all the negotiating between you & the buyer/seller.
 
I admire there busines plan like a triangle they make a bit money from the seller then a bit money from the buyer then there’s the high rate of finance that these type of companies offer its win win all the way to the bank for them and they’ll have them selve pretty well covered so they don’t have any liabilities if somthing goes wrong more for first time buyers and people wanting to get shot of a van quickly maybe vans with a bad history or hard to sell stuff they do seem to get some unusual vehicles. Wished I’d thought of it first
 
Motorhome Depot.

We bought a motorhome off/via them last year and have no regrets. They arranged the viewing, took me on a test drive, look around it, checked if open to offers but it was already reduced. They had all the paperwork with them for me to check etc.
They deal with the money, we paid a deposit, bank card settled the outstanding but had to wait till it cleared as expected. I bought it because it was lower priced than other private sellers sorry to say.
The price was the price on the advert, no commission gets added on. Seller as expected gets commission taken off final settlement.
Yes I would deal with them again.
