Post by: Stozz on October 21, 2012, 06:34:41 PM: We've always had great success with Gumtree. However, we ALWAYS state that we will NOT respond to email or SMS. People must call us. If they cant be bothered calling, they are not a genuine buyer. That way you weed out the scammers, spammers and tyre-kickers. Works for us.

I sold mine at auction on ebay.

Your detail looks pretty good.
May be break off your electrical and kitchen etc and give them their own section. Every bit of detail you can think of helps here. Also show the market why your camper is better than a new chinese one and how much work you have done to it and how you love it but its time to upgrade / buy that boat whatever. Maybe even a short speil about camping some where awesome in it....try and capture the buyers imagnination

I had heaps of really large photos which I think did the trick for me.
Your first photo is really small and when you go to enlarge it it is still really small......a picture says a thousand words.

Also time your auction so it ends about 8.00pm on a Saturday or Sunday night.....people have usually had a few bevvies and are on the look out for lifestyle things.

Hopefully all this will help

Good luck.

Cheers Nomad.
