We have a 2018/19 Hobby 560KMFE in superb as new condition that for various reasons we need to sell. Been dry stored from new and full of add ons, TV etc. Contacted a few dealers and they've offered silly money. Where's best to try to sell it.

Any ideas appreciated

I sold with a classified eBay advertisement. I spent a lot of time taking very good photos and giving very good descriptions. I got a lot of interest and it's sold very well. I suspect the name Hobby will perhaps bring some interest from people who are perhaps more challenging to deal with

As above Ebay classifieds - if nothing else it stops all the idiots from FB messaging

Sold ours on facebay and made a profit on the price i paid for it from a dealer. Hobby will attract a certain type of buyer as alluded to above.

Only person i've ever actually seen with a Hobby was in Cayton Bay. They towed it with a Range Rover Sport and were the typical chav type, so much so they left a 3 feet high chrome horse statue by the waste bins on the site.

Although they may rather steal it than buy it.

Many ornindeed most dealers won't touch a hobby which is a crying shame as they are superb vans bit not worth the risk to us in the trade sadly.
So those that will buy them will bid low as there's less competition .
So its market place, autotrader, ebay and be super careful who you have round to view it, not easy good luck!

I hope it's stored very securely! - any trial drives could do with you and a few of your mates coming along.......
