Selling a Caravan on Consignment

You have identifed the main danger straight away.
I have personally raced to failed dealers to collect cars and motorcycles before the receiver/liquidator grabs them.
Possession is 9/10 of the law and if a company goes broke you could spend months or years trying to extract your goods on consignment.

And next year it will all change again. You will have to register your sale so you get first go after the liquidator has his go . I am trying to get more info on this at the moment .

My brother has sold his last 2 vans through a Jayco dealer on consignment in Adelaide. No problems whatsoever. The dealer did nothing without authorisation and my brothers vans were exposed to a larger market than just an on line ad. (which he also had). - and he got the price he wanted for both and that was after the dealers commission.

Can't see a problem with an established dealer - don't write the concept off.

P.S. I've also sold a motorcycle on consignment - no problems.

When I sold my boat through a dealer the transfer paperwork got signed once they had the cash from the deal. On the day I signed the paperwork they gave me a bank cheque and all was well.

I have seen it in the past with a boat on consignment.
The dealer took some money for advertising, and then used the boat advertising to sell up and down from.
The requested price was fair, but spies who asked about it were told "why spend this on a used boat, when for only a few grand more I can put you in a brand new boat", and also "for a saving of $2000, you could have this one" .
The consignment was for a fixed time, and only in the last weeks was the boat actually pushed (and not sold).
It did offer good advertising for the dealers other boats.
I have heard of good results with consignment sales, but not all of them. I guess it gets back to trust.
Cheers
