Re: Selling advice

Selling big ticket vehicles are fraught with problems, like seller never transfers and injures someone leaving the titled owner possibly liable, like getting bad money being paid or later having bank cancel check you hold, lots of scammer will respond, even selling dealer can go out of business, or sell without reporting back to you, and on and on.
We all want too much for our coaches that have been upgraded and loved. RVs are not an investment, consider sell at any price, idea is to get rid of it and stop repair, liability, insurance costs.
MOT will pickup and sell (may already have a buyer waiting). There are other reliable consignment places, but who knows where they are and if they are still a reputable place.
I recommend MOT, have them pickup and consider part of the getting rid of it. They know Foretravels better than anyone.
Even the best of intentions from 'trusted' buyer may be problematic and leave you with a liability window.
Agree with B&C. MOT have sold 4 coaches for me, 3 did not even make it to their website before being sold. Even after their commission, probably realized more than what I could have got if selling privately.
Big thing for me is test drives, sold a 35 ft bus conversion years ago to a guy who could drive "big rigs", took a corner and he put 2 back tires in the ditch, he did buy coach and did pay for wrecker to get it out of ditch.
