where can i sell my motorhome

i'v bought & sold vehicles on ebay,i agree you have to be honest and as open as possible,things like a little scratch might not mean anything to you but to someone else it could be a big deal.we only got ripped off once it was a caravan,we travelled all the way to brighton from shropshire for it,the lights wouldnt work on it as the guy who had put our tow bar on the car the day before had wired it up wrong,we we had to sleep in a layby as it had got dark,it was a nightmare as we had no food or sleeping stuff,we were freezing and we couldnt sleep all night cause of the trucks rocking the caravan,when we got it home....eventually........IT WAS ROTTON IN THE CORNER,i cried for days & days :(
 
i went to see a camper i'd seen on ebay, and the pics of the interior was different from the real thing,the van was a wreck , A TOTAL CON.

Disagree there!

As long as the item is correctly listed with the relevant key searchwords on the listing it will usually find its true value, what usually happens is that the sellers idea of value of the item is usually a lot more than the real world value!

The seller may think a MH is worth £30,000 but if all it sells for is £28,000 then that is all it is worth, if you took the same "£30,000" MH to a dealer you would be lucky to get £25,000 for it!

The thing to remember with ebay is that it is used by idiots, as well as normal people and these idiots cannot spell even the most simplest of words but have cash burning a hole in their pocket so you have to cater for these buyers... If you have a Hymer for sale then make certain the listing contains the word HIMER amongst others ... another example ...For Peugeot I would list Pergeot etc

As long as you are careful, ebay is a wonderful tool for both buying and selling (My feedback currently stands on 490 over the last 6 years).

I have sold things that previously I would have discarded in the rubbish, as it was too much hassle to store until summer and take to the local boot sale, but with ebay just get the Digicam out and type a few details and Voila...A sale

I understand what U say Virgil, as U have to sell at the correct value, however it is a totally different ball game selling an iten for £30,000 to a £5 item or even a £500 item.
 
Seems like there are more good than bad points for ebay,i will relist it on ebay as now i have seen the motorhome i want and need a quick sale.The dealer(brownhills) have made me an offer but it would be a shame to let it go for that so i am willing to sell it below its true value for a quick sale.
It is a Hymer camp 46,quite a short model at under 5 metres (cheaper on the ferrys), it is a 1992 J reg 1.9 diesel with very low mileage, only 37,000. this can be backed up with documentation. It is in very good condition,the only thing wrong with it is a small crack in the shower floor. It has all the usual fittings, fridge, hob, etc. Also a insurance approved immobilser, cd radio, top box, bike rack, all for £6,900. now you all know thats a bargain.

Buy/Sell Campers and Motorhomes

Hi,You could look on Autotrader,129 Volkswagen Campers and Motorhomes on now,plenty of other makes,sold a VW T4 Hightop last Summer with no probs,what are you looking for?could be a Member on here with just the thing,Gerry.
 
Forgot this... If you are listing on ebay then try and ensure the auction finishes at approx 8pm on a Sunday as it has been proven that that is the busiest time, traffic wise, on the site!
 
For a quick sale i did not want to wait for a publication ad so i will choose to put it back on ebay, i will take your advice Virgil and see that it ends on Sunday.
I am looking for a Hymer 534 new shape.

Ive just put a deposit on a hymer 534 from hymer uk in Preston today,got till the end of the month to sell mine, my wife Pauline dosent really want to let our old hymer go,we have had it for about 8 years and she has become quite attached to it (more to that than me sometimes i think). Cant wait to try the new one out, well newish, its a 98 model.
Got someone interested in our old one otherwise its going on ebay on Monday to finish on Sunday.

fingers crossed for you guy,its a good time to sell,start of season and all that,wish you luck sam :)
 
Thanks for your comments but it looks like i may not have to put it on ebay or any other sites as two seperate buyers have said they will come up this week with the cash, so i should sell it to one or the other.
Its weird,ive had it on a motorhome sales site for 1 month which has just expired,then the day after i put a deposit on the hymer that i want i get two buyers for my old one.
i am thinking of trying the new hymer out on the west coast of scotland. we normally go to the isle of Arran, but we fancy somewhere different this time, has anyone been to Ardnamurchan on the west coast near Mull I heard something about it a while ago but cant remember what.
