Do you have a markets area

In my opinion 'caravancampingsales.com.au' is hard to beat...be advised though, it is a very difficult sales market out there at the moment and the buyer has all the cards currently in their favour, therefore, the asking price is extremely important.

Hi folks,

My inlaws are wanting to sell their van and was wondering where the best place to advertise it to get the best results.

It is on Ebay but we have not had any real success.

Looking forward to your thoughts,

Cheers Damien

We purchased our van through "The Trading Post" online.. Worked well both for us and for the seller.

Welcome Damien from me too, enjoy here and out there. I have always liked "The Trading Post". It was much better when in paper form though.

Thanks very much folks for the replies.

I agree that the trading post is pretty good and was better when it was a paper, but it is very expensive.

All said and done, I think at this stage of the game I have to try something, which is why I'm asking you lot as you're the people who buy most of the vans these days.

As with most people when they retired the In-law's purchased a van to tow around with their Jeep, then the GFC hit and they lost a big proportion of their investments and are now on the pension and no longer have the ability health wise or monetarily to travel long distances and have only used the van (which is holding a big chunk of what is left of their retirement money) twice in the last 2 years.

Oh well, off to the Trading Post I go, I have been enjoying some of the posts on here, plenty to keep me busy reading....

Cheers Damien

Good luck.

We have our van on Trading Post and Gumnut at the moment.  With trading post if you don't sell in 4 weeks the ad is free.

We have had a few of the hoax texts but just ignore them when they message and want us to email them.

You could try www.gumtree.com.au it is extremely easy to use, free and I have seen caravans listed on there.

I have tried this site a couple of times and all I got was stupid unwanted txts and phone calls. Back to the trading post for me.

Hi Damien, I was doing up an ad for RVPoint at a cost of $150 with pics, my mate called and told me to try Gum Tree. It is Free, easy to use etc, yep I got texts within 2 hrs of the ad being put on the site. But lets be honest, when some one wants to give you MORE than you asked and all you had to do was give them your BANK details, one would have to be a bit silly not to pick a SCAM. Next three days saw us get three serious buyers enquiring, sold it to the second person who also bought the tug that I had not even advertised. All for free, you got to love that
