Gang,

I often see those "Buy your gold here" commercials. William Devane has made a career touting gold coins, bullion and silver. What he never says is how do you sell all that gold....Well, I find myself in kinda the same situation. I think I know how to buy a coach, but how do you sell one?

I am contemplating selling 653. It's a race coach with lots of miles, but has been heavily -- some might say obsessively-- maintained while I have been its caretaker over the last 4 years. I have done tons of upgrades to the coach, and will miss it, but I really want to spend time doing other things right now. My plan is to sell 653 and then in a year or two, buy a newer Newell.

I have thought about doing a consignment with someone like MOT, but have heard mixed reviews. (please don't flame me!). A lot of coaches show up on eBay, but few are really sold there. RVT.com has tons of listings but I am hesitant about letting random people drive the coach.

So, how should a guru think about this?

Cheers,
bill
