Selling a van.

[SebastienClement]

It's bloody hard!

Van is washed, black bits are black, service history is in the van, 11 months MOT, 5 months tax - no one will touch it. It's a '54 reg Fiat Ducato SWB with a genuine 94,000 on the clock.

Any tips? What else can we do?

You could come up with a slightly less obvious ad?

Maybe a 50ft tall flashing neon sign?

Lower the price?

[redgriff500]

Stick it on Autotrader and then it's simply a matter of price.

It's not still signwritten from your dog strangling business is it?

More often than not, if you've had no interest, it'll be down to price.

[SebastienClement]

What odd replies!

Not advertising on here - no details - you don't have any idea what area it's in, and I'm willing to bet there aren't many PHers around here!

We've not set a bottom price. We're well aware it will be three figures, more than likely beginning with less than a 7.

Anywhoo...

Still it on Ebay on a auction listing. Problem solved.

Didn't sell. Twice.

That's what I do sometimes if I've got a bit of stock that won't shift.

Reserve/starting price is too high then.

Having sold plenty of light vans on Ebay myself over the years I find that extremely unlikely, sorry.

Perhaps I should've rephrased my OP :

Stick it on Ebay on a 'no reserve' auction listing. Problem solved.

The bottom line is that you think it's worth more than it actually is. As a general guideline, the middle ground between what the top bid was and what you're wanting for it is roughly what the van is worth.

[SebastienClement]

The van was listed on eBay with a starting price of 99p and no reserve. It did not sell!

See why we're getting frustrated with this?

Edit : As of this evening we have secured a deal on the van. Thanks for all's input.

No completed listings within last 60 days on Ebay within an 80 mile radius of PE25 for a 2004 van that matches your description, and nor are there any current listings that match either.

I think you are only telling us half the tale..

[SebastienClement]

Which half would that be?

It has been on eBay twice. Just had the invoice for the fees!

As I said, pointless debate as it is now sold.

Did you get an email via your profile?

[Wulluff]

It's a shame you're not trying to sell a late model Navara as they go for silly money.
