 Selling a trailer on E-bay

Frank you can sell pretty much anything on eBay. There were even a few people auctioning the right to name their newborn babies.

And checks, even bank and certifieds can be fraudulent. I'd accpet cash only with picture driver license----and invest in one of those making pens that test for bad bills and a UV light the banks use ---or just go to a bank WITH the buyer---so don't let them show up a time the banks are closed.

Case in point, I sold a $2500 snow plow last Fall to a guy 700 miles away. This was on CraigsList, not eBay. I told him CASH ONLY. So what does he do--he sends his girlfriend to pick it up---brings only $1500 cash and a company check for $1000. I was livid! He wouldn't return my calls while she was waiting to pick it up so I could bitch him out for pulling that. Lucky for him, the check cleared a few days later---point is he could have had a $2500 plow for only $1500!

Go to eBay, do a search for a travel trailer like yours. See if it's even worth selling it on ebAY as hey don't always draw the high price you may be looking for for whatever reason---delivery being the biggest thing, and being able to look at it up-close being the next.

I don't sell on eBay but I have bought many things--small things. Had only two bad deals and that was due to a large corporation not reacting or carying through like they said they would. eBay is useless when it comes to helping you with problems because it becomes "he said-she said". And I found the more a seller sells the more eBay protects them. Why, you ask? Simple. eBay gets a seller fee amongst other fees.

I used a local "selling store" to sell some car parts and tools. They took 30% right off the top of the selling price. Apparently it's not that profitable a business as she it out of business now, but there are others in the area doing the same thing.

Anywho, going back to your traile search on eBay, there is a link that says "sell one like this" or something like that. That will walk you though the steps to sell yours. Good luck.

And, see, we don't always butt heads. And don't call me a butthead Laughing out loud Smile Surely.

And don't call me Shirley, either. Wink yeah right
