Hi people , been awhile , so much going on .
Any selling tips or advice among us, also anyone up with Ebay stats-tricks , anything selling ?
l buy and sell caravans and campers . l don't have a yard , l mainly just deal from home and with around 2 to 6 caravans at a time . Our place is on an ac so plenty of room.
My problems been selling at a 1/2 reasonable price.
Luckily l usually have pretty good margins so I do have wiggle room but in many cases l often see exact same vans sold and fairly quickly at even double what l manage to get . Can be the exact same van , hell sometimes mines even better, extras or condition . Yet one a few ads or auctions up or down brings double , twice the interest or maybe it only gets one bid or offer even , doesn't seem to be a pattern to it at all.
That's a typical anytime l use Ebay actually , drives you insane and means l have to work twice as hard for 1/2 the money.
And unfortunately given even worse prices this yr l've been forced to use Ebay quite a bit of late just to meet repayments and bills.
I've even copied wording from high priced sellers, same types of pics , use the same times and end dates , even offer delivery because l am out of the way a bit up on the Sth West coast . No luck !
The other thing is using papers , which seems to have the same crazy no pattern you can tap into.
When l do sell through papers l do get much better prices but often too no calls at all yet there'll be the same van in following week at 70% more money and it goes that day - again drive you crazy .
l've read many ad tips and as l say often copied other ads that went well , no glory !
Any tips or experience in getting better prices in selling , or any Ebay knowledge on same .
There are other net mobs to l know but geez , every time you read any stats Ebay still as far as l know gets far more viewers than anything else.
Although l'm sure 3/4 of people buying anything big on Ebay now all have the bidding apps or read heaps on how to bid and keep the price down.
Dunno if it's the economy or just people getting smarts but on Ebay alone l'm getting 30-40% less for vans now than l was 2 yrs ago, youch !
And , it's all cutting in so much lately that before l know it the end of the mth has rolled round or past again and l'm left needing to put one out quickly to meet the bills .
Anyway , any advice, experience you'd like to share would be muchly appreciated .
Cheers
