Bidding Tips
There are a lot of things to consider when buying an RV, or anything for that matter, online. There's always the question of who are you dealing with? Is the seller honest? Is that RV really as nice as the picture shows it? Or is it a story that I'm being told just so I'll buy. There are ways to know.
The most important thing to remember is that you have to do your homework. You have to know exactly how much the RV is worth, according to it's overall condition, make, model, etc. Without this knowledge you would be guessing at what you're getting.
By buying, and bidding, we can know who we are buying from. The seller usually has a rating that tells you exactly how he treated other buyers and how satisfied they were with the RV received. He's probably going to treat you the same way, so this is a good yard stick to know exactly whether the person you are purchasing from is an honest seller or not.
Some things you should do, or know, before bidding on an RV:
*Know the sellers feedback. Has he treated previous buyers well?
*If you have questions make sure you ask them 24 hours before the end of the auction. This will give the seller plenty of time to respond. If they don't respond within a timely manner and the questions will impact whether you will bid or not, then don't bid. If you have questions that aren't answered then you will probably be unpleasantly surprised after the auction. Always work things out before the end, just so there's no misunderstandings after you have commited to the purchase. It stinks to have to pay for something that isn't exactly what you want! It's your responsibility to make sure the item is really what you want.
*Know exactly how much the RV is worth, and how much you will pay. These two numbers may not be the same. Hopefully, your number to pay will be much lower than what the RV is worth.
*Know exactly what delivery charges will be for the RV and how they it be delivered, or how you wil pick it up.
*Bidding is bidding, no matter what you're bidding on, so make sure you know all the rules. Look here for bidding rules.
*If a vehicle is selling well below market value check it out thoroughly!
*Avoid wire transfers - they are risky forms of payment because these funds are not recoverable or refundable.
*Be wary of international transactions, especially if the seller is suggesting free shipping.
*Consider using a reputable escrow service to secure the transaction. Never use a company you haven't fully investigated. Call its customer service line - if no one answers, don't use the service, period.
*If the vehicle must be shipped make sure the seller privides reliable shipping services that can be tracked.
*Most of all, use your common sense. This will probably save you a lot of headaches if you just use your head.
*If you plan to pay with PayPal, make sure you check with PayPal to make sure the transaction is covered with their buyer protection plan. If you don't get what you paid for they will help you get a refund and your money back.
