Looking for a little insight into consignment sales near Phoenix AZ

[billgr0248]

With much reluctance we need to sell our 09 Camelot 40QDP.  We have not used this coach for a couple of years now & it is just sitting in storage deteriorating.  We realize we are going to take a beating selling it but currently have no place to display it for sale nor do we have the patience/time to accommodate the looky-loo's & tire-kickers. 

Has anybody here used or dealt with any consignment operations in the greater Mesa/Phoenix area or does anybody have any recommendations as to whom to use or avoid?

Any info would be appreciated.

I bought my Dynasty from Sun City RV as it was under consignment there.

I have my 05 Safari Gazelle at RV Arizona in Phoenix.  I'm not sure if this is the best time to sell, but I thought I would give it a try.

If you decide to sell it at a consignment lot, make sure that it is covered by your insurance policy while they have it.

We advertised our coach in RV Trader and people came from all over the country to look at it.  The 3rd look made the purchase.

We did not park it in public.  Because it was in good condition we got asking price, but during inspection found a few items to repair ~$10,000.

This is typical if you don't use it enough to know its condition as in our case.  Our daughter and son-in-law had taken it over for the last 5 years.

Still walked away with $$$ so very satisfied.

I would never consign. Dealers sell their inventory FIRST. NO skin in the game. 

RV Trader is by far the best listing entity that produces the results you want.

We have sold 3 RVs with RV Trader.  Got what we asked for every time.  You just have to know what your rig is worth and be patient.

Thanks to all who responded.  I realize this is not the best time to be selling aa big expensive toy to the next generation but it's bleeding us and I need to be shed of it.

We had it on RV Trader about 18 months ago & got no (0) responses period.  I had a couple of tire kickers waste my time with tours whom I never heard from again while I had it here in our park with a "For Sale" sign concurrently with the ads and that was it.  I started by giving $700 to some outfit out of Omaha who put ads on multiple sites with the pictures that I supplied without any updates or responses after coming up with what they called a decent price.

Trinidad Dave: How long has RV Arizona had your rig & have you had any offers?
Luther Taylor: Thanks for the heads up on insurance...would you use full coverage or ???
6Wheels: How/where would you look to get a realistic estimate of what your rig is worth?

I am now 76 & don't have the money/energy/patience to make it "like new" and then deal  with the general public; hence my decision to consign. 

Thank you again for your input & suggestions

Somewhere between 98-118k depending on condition and how it shows, mileage, service history.

If it is not in good shape you could get less.  Allow a discount of up to 20% if you don't want to bring it into top shape.

per NADAguides: 

2009 Monaco Camelot Series M-40QDP 425hp Cummins Prices and Used Values | J.D. Power (jdpower.com)

Now there is only one rig on RV Trader and he is high, very high.

Get good pictures, use a good camera (minimum 1080P)  Take time to describe the rig as if you were buying it.  

Good luck!

Premium Coach Group in Gilbert is amazing.  We bought a Prevost on consignment through them and it was a memorable experience.

PPL is not in Arizona but I believe consignment is all they do,  oh,  and a huge parts business.

It's a large operation with 5 locations.   I have not bought or sold an RV from them,  only parts on occasion.

Bill, My motorhome has been in Arizona two months. I  haven't had any offers.  Although I would like to sell it, I am not really pressed to sell.  My focus has been preparing my house and relocating out of California.  I came here 54 years go in the military.  It's just time.

 

Good luck!

At least make sure it’s covered if it’s stolen, and damaged. Had a friend had his stole from a consignment lot. Just check with your insurance company as to what you need to do.

If your going to turn your rig over to a consighment lot i would concider installing a GPS locator, givin the amount of rv thefts, or if its reloacated elsewhere. There relitivly inexpensive, i just heard of a company wheresafe. com

[billgr0248]

Rik...Thanks for the heads up on the GPS Locator, it looks like a good investment at a reasonable cost.  It would be worth it just for our piece-of-mind.
