Bill,

Here is my .02. Advertise it here on the forum. Before you start, figure out what you are most likely to clear minus sales commission and other getting ready expenses, such as driving it to the consignment dealer. If and when a forum lead calls you, only you can determine how serious they are. If you think they are serious enough to fly to see the coach, then you can discuss price. I am an engineer, not a sales person. I always make it clear that this is the price, carmax style. There is no negotiation on price. I politely explain that up front. Of course, on the four RV's I've sold, I set the price as an attractive wholesale price. If it doesn't sell this way, then go the consignment route. I don't have a preferred, but I like that MOT takes trades and that makes it easier for a buyer.

The danger of this is that you tell someone a rock bottom price and they blab it on the interweb. I haven't personally had that happen.

I am not saying this technique works for everyone, but it works for me. Also, I buy RV's and cars like this too. I make a reasonable offer and the seller is free to sell or walk. I hate haggling. Some people love it. To each his own.

And ditto Tom's wisdom. The most cared for coach in the world can take a poop on the drive away. The RV owners already know that for we are always working on something. There is something about buying something new to you that give one amnesia on that situation. Your's truly included.
