Hi All,
Don’t want to risk sounding like an advert, so I’ll just say I’ve had my safe and tidy box for sale for a few weeks. It’s a good example in of its type (which is normally popular), and there’s not a lot of for sale in my area. I really scratched my head on pricing it as there wasn’t much about to work from – I took some advice from someone in the industry and the H&H good-sense approach of price it highish to start with and see how it goes! I’ve had 4 asks to view but no one actually confirm/show up. The lack of action tells me it’s a bit over priced and will follow the plan and drop the price a bit. I believe I’ve hit all the right beats in my advert (good photos, safety/build features, payload, service history etc)…
So, H&H Guru’s – am I missing anything on where its advertised? So far I’ve gone with Facebook and Horsemart as free and reasonably priced options. Is there any others that are worth paying for? It’s a sub £10k sale.
And – what do we think is happening with the market? I’m actually getting the impression that sales are slowing – I don’t see much evidence that the other boxes I see for sale in the same (or higher) price bracket are selling promptly either. Someone in the industry suggested theory to me that a few key sellers have been regularly stepping up their prices, selling then for less. Which is totally legitimate but that enough people see their ads, benchmark against them and this is one of the factors pushing the prices up. Just adding that in as an interesting thought.
And obviosuly we're all affected by the cost of living/everything trouble.
Any kind and helpful advice/tips on the above ramble very welcome ?

but then pulled of the build due to unforseen personal reasons. After that I thought I'd sell it myself and have a bit more in my hand towards the new one. If I'm lucky
