Where else besides this site is a good place to list a trailer for sale at?  Any other ideas on sites I could look at?

Have you tried Craigslist?  There are several trailers listed in our area on that site.

Are you getting responses to any of your ads? Are people calling for more information and wanting to see the trailer? Are you getting any feedback from them? How is your trailer priced compared to comparaable to other similar trailers? Just a few things to think about!

Well, be careful of all of the various scams run on Craigslist sellers...

Bottom line is... You're asking 10K for a 7 year old Exiss "SPORT", you're not going to get alot of calls/response. If it were and "EVENT", you may get a little traffic. How much corrosion you got underneath from winter road salt/brine? Get those mats out and clean up up that floor then post new pictures. A good bath won't hurt it.

You got it parked by the road with a 4 sale sign and several contact phone numbers on it? Consign it with a local truck/trailer jocky?  Good luck, sometimes they'll move in just hours, sometime it may take a year or better. Ran an ad last spring for the 2008 Cherokee on HTW for five weeks, got 3 calls, one came to take a look (drove 500 miles one way) and they bought the trailer.

First impressions effect a majority of sales. Usually you have less than 10 seconds to make a favourable presentation. This is the amount of time most people use to make an initial decision.

I'm afraid that the photos of the trailer's inside flooring would discourage most people. Those that have heard of aluminum corrosion, would be most hesitant to look any further, regardless if it were negatively affected or not.

I would suggest that you have the flooring acid washed and looking presentable. Clean the rest of the interior of the stall area. Remove the mattress you will not be including in the sale. Then take some new photos and relist the trailer. Your price is not out of line, but the present visual condition of the trailer, is not presentable enough to justify the asking price. You are asking potential customers to find a diamond in the rough, which as you are experiencing, is not a situation most buyers are willing to chance.

If no one is calling/looking your trailer is priced too high.

I agree with Gard.  I'm always surprised at the customers that bring in trailers for trade or to put on consignment; and they haven't been washed, cleaned out, or made to look presentable in any way.  TAKE THE TIME, and do yourself a huge favor by making that trailer look the best it can w/o putting a lot of expense into it.  If the wheels are rusty, either "carefully" repaint them, or put some inexpesive full wheel covers over them.  Little things make a huge difference.  Our dealerships sell quite a few consignments, and we always spend a couple of hours prepping them for the lot before we take pictures and put them on this website and our own.  Most of the time those trailers need attention.

Thanks for the ideas and advice on photos and such.  Will look into that when I relist it in the spring if it doesn't sell now.

I have had a lot of interest in it, just no takers as of yet.  We shall see.  But thanks again for the ideas and advice!

I agree with the clean up.  I washed and waxed my Trailet, cleaned out the floor so that there were clean mats and wood floor--cleaned and conditioned the bumpers.  I even got the dirt out between the boards on the floor.  When they folks who bought the trailer got it, there was absolutely nothing that needed to be done, to include the bearings packed and checked.
