Best place to sell my tent?

We have now got a caravan and need to sell the tent.

It's a biggie - Outwell Wolf Lake so not a cheap and cheerful one. Where is best to advertise it? Would you sell the equipment along with it or separate?

Many thanks

Having just bought a vintage khyam on Ebay for £30 I wouldn't recommend that!

How about UKCampsite? They have free ads. I'd probably be tempted to try to sell things separately as the bundles seem to go cheaply for what they are.

If you can store everything, I'd try to hang on until next spring when people are starting to look for more kit.

I have one of these. I'd definitely sell it on UK campsite (discerning buyers), bundle it with footprint/carpet/awning etc but maybe sell your other kit separately, cross reference it.

You might sell it for a fixed price in the spring, they are expensive tents so someone might think it a bargain to get one in good condition for £300 or £400?

eBay wil sting you for fees...how about Gumtree or a local Facebook selling page?

You could try gumtree or ukcampsite but if you need a sale quickly, then that might not be the best bet. I've found Ebay quite good for some brands and models of tent. You can see how much it has sold for previously to get a sense of if it will match your expectations or not -- looks like around £500 up to over £900 when bundled with canopy and carpet etc. Yes there is commission (and it adds up when you are talking about such high value items) but I got almost no interest in my Vango tent when I had it on gumtree for a month, except for a few silly low-ball offers. I had it on eBay for a week and had 40 watchers and 12 bidders and sold it for more than I paid for it Blush.
