Caravan selling nightmares
Discussion
First time posting in this corner of PH but I needed some help as I’m not really experienced in caravans/camping.
I have the sad task of selling my terminally ill fathers caravan, it’s not in bad nic.
It’s a ‘08 Olympic I think, after having it serviced the chap serving told me it was worth about 8k even with a small amount of damp found in one corner.
So I stuck it online at less than 8k and even then I was happy to take less. But my phone hasn’t stopped buzzing. Yesterday 2 guys came a significant distance, looked around told me it was cheap inside and low balled me on price, telling me they had cash and they would take it away.
What’s going on? They wouldn’t stop contacting me about it even after they left. Starting to wonder if they arrive at my parents in the night to steal it.
Basically, does anyone know why these people are desperate to get hold of these vans. Anyone else had this experience? Am I being stupid with price?

Caravans are selling like hot cakes at the moment.
Probably dealers who want to pay you peanuts and make a massive profit, otherwise why come all that way knowing the price. With the way things are, its a sellers market - anyone that low balls you should be politely told to f
k off.
Not heard of an Olympic - I assume that's the model and its made by a mainstream manufacturer like Bailey, Swift, Coachman etc.

Just tell them it’s sold to the person who viewed it after them, then take the advert down for a few days and put it on caravan finder.
Thats helpful thanks.Its a Sterling, had to check my own ad, Caravan names and models are pretty confusing.
Have someone viewing today who is local so I hopefully he will buy, if not will deffo get it in Caravan finder.
Thanks again
