Looking for recommendations when selling a Wanderlodge
Dear Group,

We have a 1987 PT 40 in excellent condition. The Bird was purchased over a year
ago, and we had originally been giving serious thought to fulltiming.
Unfortunately, my wife's employment (Flight Attendant) has forced some changes
in those plans. The question becomes, what is the best approach to offering
the unit for sale?

We live in Maine (near Portland). The unit is in excellent condition and should
be purchased by someone who will appreciate and know how to enjoy everything
this Bluebird has to offer. This is our first Bird, but we did quite a bit of
research before picking this model and vintage. It has the white/cream
interior, which we prefer as it make the unit brighter and for us, makes it
seem more open.

Anyway, advice on recommended approaches to offering the unit for sale would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael and Dana Maudlin

List it on vintagebirds.com .Click on FOR SALE. Scroll down to the
bottom. Send email ad with small picture. They will work with you to
list your bird. No cost to you.

Birdconnection.com is another site, but you pay commission. RVTrader.com
is another.

I just sold my 85 using Paul Davis at Mr. Olivers at Princeton Texas with 10%
commission;however I had a ready buyer so he just did the paperwork and gave me
better deal on sale. He moves coaches very quickly by pricing the rig at a
realistic number. Many people own their coaches loner than necessary by trying
to get the lasta dollar; when in fact they waste more time than they get money.
Go to http://www.mrolivers.com and see what Paul will do. Wallace Craig

Howdy, We put our '78 FC 31' on Vintage Birds and RVTrader.com (list until it
sells was a good deal). It took seven months, but a buyer in Costa Rica saw it
and flew to check it out. We picked him up at the airport in the coach and after
we got out of traffic he drove it to our house. We put a nice package together
with copies of the maintenance log (Complete maintenance records tell the buyer
you are serious about the coach. Mine are divided into Maintenance,
Modifications, Cost Records, Misc Info.), all the accessories, spare parts, and
receipts, plenty of photos, ready to mail. I offered to spend as much time with
him as he wanted doing all the maintenance procedures. I suggested that
potential buyers come spend the night in it and check it out at their own pace.
The one that bought it did that.I even had a checklist for them that I used to
fix everything. I actually had several (3) lookers who said they were going to
buy it but never came back. If it is clean and easy to
inspect, it will sell itself. The hard part was owning two Birds at once!!

Michael & Dana
sorry you have to sell the BB. Not a good time to sell with gas prices and all,
if you could
hold off a while as gas prices become more stable (ya right) it would help if
not do some
marketing yourself first. For example put a simple web page together call it 87
pt 40 for
sale key words wanderlodge Blue bird etc you would be surprize how fast it will
get listed
in the search engines when you take the time to submitt the url.
check out http://www.guysmalley.com I sell art over then internet it can work
if you price
it to sell it will move, if you price it high then enjoy the bird while you have
it.

good luck
