Anyone else having probs selling their horsebox?

[casey2312]

My lovely HB has been for sale for ages...in H&H, horsedeals etc. I have dropped the price and now practically giving it away...argh.

I move to Australia in 3 weeks....

Anyone else having trouble?

I gave up trying to sell mine having dropped the price to silly money and still not had anyone even look at it - but since I refused to give it away I decided to keep it - but then I'm not going to Australia!

It's madness isn't it. Sorry to see your in the same boat.

Sounds a silly idea but have you considered EBay?

If you really want it gone then that might be a way forwards

What is it? im looking for a 3.5tonne horsbox

 

[Baileyhoss]

can you point me in the direction of one of your adverts, I would love a wee 5.5t

 

[casey2312]

Its a 7.5 sorry.

 

[casey2312]

I will definitely look into that. Thanks

 

[casey2312]

Lol. Its a 7.5t..... I need to compress it.

Have you tried all the equine sites? My friend sold her lorry within 48hours on horsemart

 

[casey2312]

I've been on horse deals and H&H. I'll one on HM now.

 

[gummybear]

Casey - can you Pm me details of lorry please. ta

 

[ecrozier]

Yep, I have a 7.5t that hasn't had much interest - she's a B-reg, but in fabulous condition for her age and a really good buy for £4k which is the least I will take for her....I will keep her rather than sell for less than that as it is already about £1k less than I really wanted!
The only thing that has held her back so far was one person who said she was perfect apart from no cut-through cab, was thinking about buying a CCTV system....can't decide if it is worth it or not!

I've just bought a 5.5 ton lorry through ebay. If you need to sell then I would recommend ebay, although things aren't making a lot of money they do sell. Put a reserve on it to protect yourself

 

[GreyArabian]

The bigger boxes don't seem to be selling very well at all, everyone seems to want the 3.5tonners these days.

 

[Rachntabby]

if you really wanted to get rid you could give it to me

i have erm :counts up money: a whole £50!

lol not much use but i think everyone does want a 3.5 ton now

Looking at your location, Casey, I'd say it's that. Your market is instantly limited to those who will pick it up and take it further away from the Low Emissions Zone. Unless it's newer than 2005, chances are it's not compliant and no lorries in this category are selling, horseboxes or otherwise. Go and pay Mr Livingstone a visit and express how happy you are. Pass on the regards from my friends about to go belly up in their businesses, too. Git.

You know I think you right. It crossed my mind this was the case also, as its a very decent box. Argh....

 

[jubum]

I've got this problem too, I can't sell mine either. As I am in LEZ I had to move it to a friends, just around the corner and can't leave it there forever.... so will be dropping price loads and ebaying it this weekend......I wonder if Ken Livingstone will pay me back the money I stand to lose on this......

 

[RLF]

I sold mine on ebay last week - for peanuts, people seem to be hanging on to their cash at the mo

 

[Santa_Claus]

Still trying to sell mine, very cheap ultra reliable but apparently still no one wants! relisted it on ebay to finish tomorrow and don't expect it to sell again

 

[nikki_07766]

Yup i can't give my 3.5 ton away for love nor money, i've found the perfect box for our next one so just hoping and praying someone will snatch it up soon....

 

[wonkey_donkey]

I gave mine to a good dealer to sell for us. They sold it within a week for more than we expected and no grief or timewasters!
