| I'll be honest-I never saw myself trying to sell my RV | | | | memories I have of my trailer get marred by |
| at all, let alone trying to sell my RV online. Back when | | | | creating an awful experience when I'm trying to sell it. |
| I bought it, it was exactly what I wanted and | | | | If there were better-albeit, less personal, but also |
| needed, then and there. | | | | less dangerous-options available, why not protect |
| It's always weird how things change. My family has | | | | myself and go for those options? |
| grown and now I want different features, things that | | | | I wanted to hand it over to someone like I was, |
| didn't seem necessary then. It's like when you've had | | | | someone who was looking for something exactly like |
| a twin bed your whole life. Then you get a full and | | | | it, who would love it and take care of it the same |
| it's like heaven. Then, after a few years, you've got | | | | way. But that's probably a little idealistic in such a less |
| to have that queen. | | | | than perfect world. I think it's not cynicism so much |
| So that's the deal: I'm going for the queen, which | | | | as practicality to realize that more likely I'll get |
| means I've got to sell my full. I've heard online is the | | | | frustrated with how much the people who express |
| way to go, but I'm not sold. I mean, I've had some | | | | interest aren't like I was or aren't looking for |
| good times in this thing, it's got sentimental value. | | | | something exactly like what I'm trying to sell. I'll get |
| Online seems so...impersonal. | | | | tired, stressed out, irritated, and frustrated. |
| Personal Can Be Overrated | | | | The Alternative |
| But what my friends tell me, friends who've been | | | | There are companies online that will actually buy your |
| through this same experience, is that when it comes | | | | RV from you. They'll even come get it, unless you |
| to things like this-trying to sell your trailer online-how | | | | prefer to bring it to them. They'll then take on the |
| personal do you want it to be? There are so many | | | | masses to find the perfect buyer, but you're out of |
| crazies out there. If you put an ad in the personals, | | | | the picture by then, already off enjoying your new |
| whether online or in the local paper, do you really | | | | queen. You won't have to deal with the crazies, just |
| want these people to have your contact info? I | | | | true RV people who get what you're going through. |
| mean, sure, it might go okay. But what are the odds? | | | | I'm starting to think that's a better send-off for the |
| Don't Mar the Good Memories | | | | old Memory Mobile. |
| What they tell me is, I shouldn't let the good | | | | |
