Setting Price Most Important Factor in Selling RV

More than 55% of RV sales nationwide occur between two private parties with the majority of buyers and sellers connecting at online sites like RVT.com. Experienced sellers say the most important factor in the RV selling process is setting the sales price. Too high and you won’t get any offers. Too low and you lose out. Low prices may generate a lot of contacts from prospective buyers and guarantee a quick sale, but you won’t earn as much from the sale of your RV as you should.

You have to be realistic in setting a sales price for your RV. Some RV sellers lose potential sales by pricing their used RVs like new. The key to setting a fair market price is to know the average value of RVs that are the same model type, age and condition as the one you’re selling.  You can get a general idea of your RV’s worth by checking the Kelly Blue Book or NADA price guide. Use RVT Price Checker to narrow your price and find out what other RV sellers are asking for the same model.  Search for similar RVs and compare your RV’s features with what other sellers are offering on RVT.com. Remember to factor in differences in age and condition.

In deciding on a listing price, allow some wiggle room for negotiating with potential buyers. Everyone loves a bargain. Set a sales price a bit above what you actually want get for your RV so you can “come down” to clench the sale.
