Where To Sell A Used Camper

For years the only place to sell a used camper was the classified ads of your local paper. Now, that is the last place you'll probably have any luck selling that used camper. The number one place to sell a camper is online through eBay.

I prefer and have received better results using eBay because of the reach and audience. You reach a national audience that may travel far beyond your local area to buy your used camper. You also get top dollar because of the auction format.

But, as with anything else, you have to prepare and publish your listing correctly in order to draw attention to your used camper listing and get top dollar.

The first resource you should get is the Auction Monster eBay® Toolkit. This FREE toolkit will save your hours of time and can help you create an appealing auction that buyers are attracted to.

Next, you will need an eBay account, if you don't already have one, to post your auction.

Good luck, and let us know if you post an auction. We will feature it on this site in it's own post. Just add a link in a comment below and we'll create a new post featuring your listing.

Used Campers - How To Market Your Used Camper Online

Marketing is always the same. The more eyes you can get on the product, the greater the chance of a sale or higher priced sale. Many people advertise and try to sell their campers online using eBay and Craigslist.

This is great, but you are so very limited in your reach. Only the people visiting eBay can see your listing. Only the people visiting Craigslist can see your listing. This is not good.

Enter in Pay-Per-Click advertising. You can signup with Google, Yahoo and MSN and advertise in their search engine. So when someone searches for a "used coleman popup"or whatever you are selling, they will see your ad. That ad then points to your eBay or Craigslist listing.

You are driving more traffic to your listings. I have personally done this and experienced 3-4 times as many bids as I did before.

As an added benefit, you can register for the following services below and get some promotional credits that will help you bid a bit higher for your keywords. You can not lose on this and it will only help your auctions and return on investment.
