MandyAndy Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hi, don't want to dampen your ardour judge but remember a few of the watchers will be those following your link and hoping for success for you. I confess to being one of those watchers :-D Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Kirby Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Time of year, I suspect, Eddie. Going into winter probably not best choice, and likely to get speculative responses looking for a big discount on expectation it will be a "distress sale". You may even get a few dealers taking a punt on that basis. Have you considered a sale or return deal via a dealer - preferably Eura Mobil dealer? He puts it on his forecourt as one of his, advertises, cleans and insures it while there, indemnifies you against loss or damage, and you get the benefit of the customer viewings his dealership attracts.If someone wants to buy it he offers a warranty, and it only transfers briefly to his stock at the point of sale. That way he takes virtually zero financial risk, because he only buys it from you after he has his buyer's money in the bank, so it can be attractive for the dealer, you get the exposure via the dealership, and although you get less than with a private sale, you avoid the hassle of "tyre kickers" and securing payment.There is a risk to you should the dealer go bust between getting the cash from the ultimate buyer and sending yours on to you, but that is a short window, and choosing a reputable dealership reduces the probability. What you get can be either a guaranteed sum, only variable by mutual agreement, with the dealer pocketing any surplus he manages to swing, or a percentage of the sale price, open book, subject to an agreed minimum, variable only as above.

Guest JudgeMental Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks Brian! Getting bids and a lot more interest this time with ebay, and MMM add should be out any time soon (Novemeber copy) As you rightly say not the best time of year but we live in Hope! If it goes all very well, not particulilrly fussed, but may talk to you re your idea, that is if you are home yet :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Not quite home yet, but well en-route! :-)Sale or return was what we did with ours three years back, and it worked for us. Won't suit all, as you should undoubtedly get more money from a private sale, though very difficult to say how much more. However, relatively simple and hassle free way to sell, with no need to hang around for 'phone calls / no-shows, and all that fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symbol Owner Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hi Judge, I take it that you are aware that your 'van has been advertised in 'Which Motorcaravan' since last Thursday -- 14th. Oct.? -- presumably you get coverage in both of Warners motorhoming mags. 'Two for the price of one' I hope! Cheers, Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thanks Colin that is good to know The ebay auction is slowly edging its way up as well.....we live in hope:-D It was a long shot trying to sell this time of year anyway.

Mickydripin Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 HI Judge I have been tracking your motorhome for a while now and was hoping that it did not sell ("Sorry") as the time for my court case was comming very close due to my motorhome problem "third of November" I was hoping to buy it when or if I won as it looks very nice and just what I wanted but ("Sorry") once again my dealer has come up with a new Motorhome offer today and it looks as if it is going through. If things go wring once again then I will get in touch if it is not sold. With what I have seen on ebayzzz and OandA and you seem like a genuine fella whoever gets it will get a motor to be proud of so good luck with your sale Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thanks Mickey and good luck with the court case, and no need to apologise!:-D I spent a lot on extras and it is a really good van for longterm summer and winter touring, If I new 3 years ago that I would be moving house and probably not have parking for a coachbuilt I would not of spent so much on extras, BUT!I am open to offers :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawki Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Good luck with your auction. I think its normal for a bit of a pause in the bidding now probably nothing now until the really interested bidders pop up in the last hour So don’t panic judge Cheers Dawki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordThornber Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I agree Eddie, a friend who's practically an E-bay professional says similar, towards the end of the auction it livens up. Also, he tries to end his auctions at weekend, and/or at the end of the month, when more are viewing and a lot have been paid. The latter wouldn't apply of course to high end items like yours.

Mel B Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Here's hoping all those interested don't go out for a Sunday lunch, or worse still, fall asleep after it and miss the end of the auction! :D Good luck Eddie, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandyAndy Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Ebay did a survey of sales records around 2 years ago, it clearly stated that the best time to sell was between 5pm and 6pm on a Sunday. The best time to buy was between 12pm and 2pm in an afternoon. If you are buying something that a seller has alot of and is selling at different times go into their completed listings and check out what price is gets and at what time. You can also use this facility to check what the seller will accept when asking for offers on multiple items. Males tend to wait for last minute bidding, ladies tend to be a bit more impatient :-D :-D Good luck with it Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjsj Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Judge, It'll go, you just have to be patient. Mine (a 22 year old Talisman... so not in the same league as yours) has finally sold (yipee !) after having it on E-Bay (didn't reach it's reserve) it went from Caravanselecta via the Caravan Club website. Mine is also in Nov's MMM, (by the way it'll also be in Out & About , Which Motorhome & the 'Mart' mag.) my buyer comes from N.Ireland, and I had calls from S.Ireland too, (they are closer to me than most of the UK !!). Don't get disheartened and let it go for less than you'll feel happy with, and you might feel like that, i know i nearly did. Good luck ! let us know how you get on. Ray PS. as an afterthought, evidently you have a differant procedure log-book wise when selling to a NI resident, they have to have the 'Whole V5C' not just the tear off strip ? otherwise they can't register or tax the van over there ?? I thought it was still part of the UK. perhaps not ???? (it's not a 'scam' either, i checked). *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hi Judge Why sell just because you won't have room to store on drive? We have to keep our van away from home at a very secure site CASSOA Gold. It is about 15mins from home , so not too far away. It sounds like you love your van, so why not keep it, instead of buying a smaller van, which you may reget later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you love your van, so why not keep it, instead of buying a smaller van, which you may reget later on There is no practical storage anywhere near London! Plus we really prefer smaller vehicles, as we started out with a panel van and I dont really like the large motorhome, we only bought one because of the kids. It is in the name really "home " I dont want to be dragging a large box around, a compact van based camper will do us fine, now that the teenagers have stopped coming. Also taking on a bit of a building/refurbishment project with a house move so a van will be handier for getting materials, moving stuff etc...There is only so much I can do on my electric bike! :D If it dont sell we are going to the Alps for Christmas:-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JudgeMental Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 well a lot of time has past since I first posted this thread. I tried through the winter to sell the van with little interest. In the end I PX'ed it with a German dealer and got the price I was asking for it here (£26000) Plus a good price on new Adria so very happy... The reason I have resurrected this thread is that in the last week I have had 4 serious enquiry's about the van! So I think I have learnt that selling a motorhome is very dependent on the weather, and I wont waste my time trying to sell in the winter again! all inquires where via MMM as well :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
