Where to sell a caravan

We have a 2005 Adria caravan. bought from a dealer 18 months ago, used as a weekend "house" for 12 months or so last year while we renovated - in good condition - no worse than we bought it and is now on the drive. It was sold, but the guy decided to buy a static so we are behind the curve and need it gone really.

We listed it on ebay and pulled the advert after a few hours of being bombarded with a certain groups interest.

Its not a lot of money, but its in great condition and we need it gone for the right money

Any Ideas?

Snap, I’m selling this https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/sale-ready-...80332.html same age and immaculate. I’ve put it on with the Caravan Club which puts it on a few other sites. Heard nothing from anywhere then this weekend I had a woman from Maidstone phone, sounded promising. Gave her directions and half hour after appointment phoned her in case she was lost. Didn’t you get my text she said, I can’t do today can I see it tomorrow. New appointment made and hour or so before had she texts asking what make it was so she could tell her Dad. 10 minutes later I get a a second telling me it’s too expensive Censored

An hour or so later I get a call from a woman who is on a day trip to Brighton and want to look at it. Same procedure, this time Dad phones back offering £2k cash ( it’s up for £5k). Eventually he says £3k and I’ll take it off your hands today.

So no I don’t have any advice. I can’t believe a lovely complete outfit hasn’t been snapped up.

EBAY as a fixed price ad with best offer. You can set it to auto-reject offers under a certain amount. It's the widest audience sadly but at least you can ignore the jokers automatically.
FB Marketplace is free, but full of mongs and that certain group you mentioned (I'll have steak & Kidney to go with my door unlocking device please)
Shpock, like FBM but worse. If you advertised it for free you would get some moron asking if you would deliver it for that price. Worse than a car boot sale.
Autotrader is expensive and pretty much dead these days. And I can't remember the last time I saw Exchange & Mart anywhere.
Or sell it to a dealer. There are loads advertising in caravan magazines. Low prices though. Depends how desperate you are. It is a good time now with summer hols coming up so the dealers want plenty of stock.

Thanks, some good tips, I’ll have a go probably this weekend with something here and different on eBay.

Dealers just don’t seem to get back to us, I would prefer that route.

It’s a bit of a nightmare for such a cheap simple thing!

Been there done that and ended up having to pay full selling fees for not taking a £2k reduction from the winning bidder when he came to collect who then got frightening abusive and this was after being bombarded with telephone calls from “foreigners”.
It’s even worse if the make of caravan begins with an H. Big Cry
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
