Using the Golden Rule to Sell My RV

Most of us have been learning the Golden Rule ever since preschool, if not longer:  “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”  Would you believe me if I told you that I used something that basic, that elementary, to sell my RV?  Well, you better!

First comes some visualization.  If you’ve had your RV for many years, it may be hard to remember when you were looking to buy it, but try.  Once you’ve achieved an image of yourself as a buyer, adjust the scenario to see through the eyes of someone looking to buy a used RV.

What are some of the concerns prospective buyers will have, and how can you make the process go as smoothly as possible for both of you?  Buying or selling a used RV, especially for the first time, can be a tedious experience.  If your prospective buyer has never owned an RV before, they might feel pretty overwhelmed.

Think of how you would feel.  Don’t bombard them with facts, figures, or terms with which they may not be familiar.  Don’t confuse them further.  Calmly outline your vehicle’s condition and features, and provide more information as they ask for it.  If they live some distance from you and can’t come over right away to see the RV, e-mail photos taken with a digital camera and contained in reasonably sized files.

You still may have to talk to a lot of prospective buyers before you find the right one, but if you just put yourself in their shoes and treat them accordingly, it will be a much more pleasant experience for everyone—I promise!
