Hang in there gang, it'll make sense in a minute.
We bought a 2002 F250 about a year and a half ago. It had a 15,000 lbs 5th wheel hitch sitting in the bed from the PO. He bought a newer TV with a hitch appropriate for his needs, so he left this one for me. Question is now, how do I sell the dern thing?
It's a big, heavy, hulking thing. Originally sold for around $1500, about 5-6 years ago, so it's got to be worth a couple bucks, right?
Since it's so big and heavy, it's probably not going to move easily on Ebay, figuratively and literally. Craig's List is completely out of the question. We had a "Craig's List Murder" here in the Atlanta area a few weeks back (no BS, it really happened). So I'm not comfortable having a lot of those lurkers staking out my house to have a look-see at the hitch (remember, it's a two man lift to get this thing out of the garage in order to meet somebody at a neutral location).
I talked to a local RV place to see if maybe he wanted to try and sell it on consignment. He's not interested. Understandable, he makes a lot more on new merchandise. And I want to see this guy succeed. There are scarcely few of his kind left around me. And it's a nice business, very helpful people with all the odds-n-ends we need for hobby/obsession. :lol:
Any ideas? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
