RV Selling Tips: Negotiating Price

Setting the listing price is a critical decision when selling your RV online. You want to price your RV competitively enough to draw maximum traffic from serious buyers while ensuring that your RV sells for the highest price. Pricing your RV too high discourages potential buyers, driving them in search of better deals. Pricing your RV too low limits potential profit, drawing bargain hunters without the resources to close the deal.

To aid you in setting the optimum selling price for your RV, RVT.com provides a handy, free price checker service that pinpoints the high, low and average selling prices currently listed on our website for RVs like the one you want to sell. Using the price checker is easy. Simply input the requested information — make, model, length, age, location, etc. — and our price checker lists the number of ads currently running on RVT.com that match your criteria, along with the high, low and average prices being advertised. You can instantly view competing ads to check out your direct online sales competition.

When setting the selling price for your RV, leave some haggling room. People love to feel like they’re getting a bargain, so price your RV a little higher than the price you’re willing to accept to allow some negotiating room. When you receive a buy offer, don’t automatically accept or reject it; always make a counter offer.

Be patient. Most online sales take a few weeks, sometimes longer. Follow our pricing tips and you can get top dollar when you sell your RV on RVT.com, the North American leader in online RV sales.
