I have a trailer that I ran on this site last fall, and had very little interest in it. Would now be a good time to run it again. It seems that with people getting thier refunds it might be a better time. The trailer is in the $16,000 range so it may not make any difference. I doubt very many people get that much back. The trailer is a mid 90's, and many people had trouble getting it financed.

Anytime is a good time to run an ad if you really want to sell it..... More of a chance now than anytime of the year... Tax refunds, spring's around the corner, fuel's not at the $4.00 make yet, etc..... The higher fuel prices soar, the harder it will be to sell.

All I can add is that the finance deal has not improved much, in my opinion. Banks still are not wanting to do any out of the box type lending. In fact, the local bank came out last month and said no more RV type trailers period, no matter what.....

Well, unfortunately, every year you wait makes the trailer a year older and even less valuable...do a search on HTW's sales site for a trailer like yours...and then pick a number equal to or LESS than that, so the sale will happen...

Thanks, I looked for comparable trailers in make and model. I was in the middle of the pack conservativly. When I run it again I will go down on the price. Actually I will be running it for what I was willing to accept the last time. Was it a mistake to run it for $2,000 over what I actually wanted the last time.
