SELLING

Good day fellow podders.  I have decided to dump the rpod.  Gonna get out of the camping business for a while, then get back in about a year or so.  My question is how much do I ask.  Obviously midwest pricing, but heres the story.  Theres two things wrong with it which I will fully disclose (there obvious anyway!!).  The fridge does not work on gas, electric and battery work fine.  I have done everything possible to get the gas working with no avail.  Gas works everywhere else.  I think the bigger issue is the floor has gotten spungy.  Im not going to repair that but sell as is.  Besides those two issues, the pod is in very good shape.  Any thoughts on pricing with these two issues.  I am aware of the basic pricing in the midwest, but it doesnt include my issues.  I just want to be fair and again will disclose the issues.  Please be honest!!!  jon

any others thoughts?  thought i would get more than one hit.  jon

Seems to me that the Covid pandemic caused quite a surge in the sales of RV's, as people looked for things to do and ways reduce the risk of Covid by going camping in isolated areas.  The surge and fall in the RV market exactly tracks the rise and fall of he pandemic.  We replaced our Pod 172 with the Sonoma trailer just before the pandemic and got a great deal on the trailer.  Now, that the pandemic is gone, we're seeing substantial discounts being offered once again by RV dealers and the used trailer market seems to have shifted back to a normal state, where supply and demand are more balanced.  We've also noticed that campground reservations are easier to make, probably because people are staying home to party with friends and attend local entertainment events.

I just read an article how Winnebago has missed sales and earning targets for 3 quarters. The industry is hurting and bloated with inventory, so I agree with all of the above analysis.

thinkin maybe $4000.  Jon
