RV Consignment
If you’re looking to trade in your current RV for a bigger model or a different style, then you’ll want to make sure that you sell your current RV at a good price. One great way to do this is via RV consignment, which makes the process easy and convenient for you. You won’t have to put up any classified ads on your own and you can get all the technical stuff taken care of by the dealership.
As your local RV consignment dealer, we’ve put together a quick brief on what consignment is and how to prepare for it.
So, What’s Consignment?
The word “consignment” simply means “relinquishing control of something to a third-party seller.” You’ve undoubtedly seen consignment clothing stores or consignment electronics stores, which take your secondhand items in, price them, and sell them for you. You as the original owner will receive a good portion of the proceeds from the sale without having to try to find a buyer on your own. RV consignment is very similar. You’ll keep ownership of the RV until it’s sold and you’ll get a cut of the profits afterwards.
Benefits of Consignment
You may be wondering how consignment is beneficial to you. Some people may find it difficult to let go of control by allowing someone else to sell the RV for them, but it can give you a great deal of peace of mind to do so. Also, you can typically get the RV sold for a good price much more quickly when you put it up for consignment with a reliable dealership. People who are interested in buying a used RV will trust their local dealer to give them a model that’s in good condition, since the dealer has the means to market your RV and ready it for sale.
Additional Information
It’s important to do some research before you consign your RV. Dealerships request a consignment fee from the total sale of the RV, so you’ll need to subtract that amount from the total potential sale price. Charging a consignment fee is a standard procedure, since the dealership is taking care of all the details of the sales process for you.
How much the consignment fee is will depend on a few different factors, such as the type of RV you have, the condition of the RV, and how old it is. You should also ask the dealer if they can make repairs and clean up your RV for sale, since this also costs money.
