Future PC Rallies in Doubt

Tom,
Suggestions would be great. Trust me, I do not want to put the bus up for sale.

Tom,
We would like the suggestion too on selling the plastic coach. I had one idea in mind but would like to hear your suggestion.
We have several summer trips lined up and in the fall, we’ll probably put the coach somewhere for sale.
Thanks,
Mark

Tom,
By the way we did pick the coach up from North Trail about 2 weeks ago and I have it on eBay and rvtrader now. Its still in Florida right now but I plan on going back out there to get it the end of next week and bringing it home to Missouri.

Bamafan ….
We did exactly what you did…got excited about a Prevost and purchased before selling our 05 45′ 4 slide all electric Navigator… took 3 years to sell it.. had it on RVtrader, Rvonline, Ebay, and FMCA ad is where it finally sold it… but we took a beating… we had a few offers earlier and wished many times we had sold it for the offers that we had which were substantially more than we ended up getting 3 years later… that being said you might want to make it “one heck of a deal” just to move it if you have someone interested and get rid f it rather than keeping it 3 years like we did… After being on the market 3 years it needed new batteries… new tires… ac repairs… electric step repairs… satellite dish repairs and a few other less expensive things and after all of that took another $20K beating so you might want to lower your price and run with the money… we wished a million times that we did !!! Just saying!
Good luck…

If your plastic coach is in great shape, isn’t a model no one wants, then it really boils down to how much money you’re willing to lose. As often as use to sell boats I don’t want to even calculate my loses. In the end, this practice allowed me to get that next boat, car, RV or whatever.
I sold my 08 Beaver ContesssContesss in less than 2 weeks on eBay. Big ticket items on eBay are often sold outside the auction. I have bought and sold outside the auction in the past. EBay is a great storefront, which now realize with their buy it now option. On my Beaver I spoke to a buyer that wasn’t ready to buy for a year. I convinced him and his wife to fly to FL from Nebraska. They did and the deal was done. They left happy and I didn’t have a coach to sell. It cost me about $35K for immediate satisfaction.

The absolute hardest part about selling a coach, plane, boat, etc is accepting the fact it is not worth what you think it is worth, but it is worth what someone wants to pay.
Over a great number of years I have seen folks try to sell some nice coaches, but they over priced them. As the market prices went down they lowered their prices, but never quite got to the point where the price they wanted was what the market was willing to pay. The longer a used coach sits the worse the situation becomes. They get viewed by the market as having something wrong because they are still for sale months or years later than when they first appeared for sale. Sitting is bad for a coach as we all know so pretty soon things don’t work as they should, and the elements take away the shine. That obviously makes the final selling price even lower.
The reality is set the price right. Be willing to accept an offer that might seem too low now, but which in the real world is going to seem like a windfall a year from now.
Unless a coach has something really exceptional going for it the tire kickers are in control and they are going to decide how much you realize from a sale.

Same experience here.
We bought our Signature and decided to put the Dynasty on the market at a very attractive price. I listed it on eBay and had over 50 folks watching it. After about a week and a half, a couple came to look at it and bought it on the spot.
It really was not hard to let it go at a bargain price as it was paid for the day we bought it. The only question was how much money someone would hand me when we sold it. It was either a handful of money or no money. That makes the handful seem seem really nice.

Dean,
What are you trying to sell, someone here can probably get it sold. Take 80% of wholesale and get out, if it’s a plastic coach maybe you can get wholesale.
I’m surprised Dave didn’t do a deal with you.Later
