Title: 2013 16DB
Post by: USCG on July 01, 2017, 10:26:08 AM
My wife listed our Livin Lite 2013 16DB on Ebay, starting bid 12K, no reserve.  I don't think I can post a link here, so if interested just search "Livin Lite" and it will come up.  There are Two on ebay right now, the other is Buy it now only. 
Thank you

Wow, no bids?  That was a great price.  We paid way more than that last year for our used 16DB, identical to yours except we have the rooftop AC.  Plus we drove all the way to NC to get it.  We're just up the road in Swainsboro, btw.

we ran it again, and even dropped the price to 11500.  but that's it!  I will keep it rather than let it go.  The only reason we listed it was because we wanted to get to upgrade to something with a the Murphy bed, bigger bath, and dinette.  (something like a Rockwood mini lite 2304).  I don't think the rockwood or forest river is as good a camper as my Camp lite, but the layout is a little better.  IF my Camp lite don't sell, I am going to convert the jackknife couch into a dinette and upgrade the propane tanks and battery to twins instead of singles.

I am completely happy with my Camp Lite, just wanted something a little bigger, but i'm NOT going to give it away, you can't get a camper made as solid as the camp lite anymore unless you buy and A/S or another camp lite.  just my opinion

oh, I did have some interested people emailing me on the last run on ebay, but I think with big items like this, most people want to see it before they bid or buy

I ran my camper twice on Ebay and even dropped the starting price below what I wanted just to see if I could get some biding action, (but never got a bid).  Now I got multiple people emailing me wanting me to relist it, or sell it to them out right... 

Honestly, I don't think I am going to sell it, because my starting bid was way too low anyway, and that's not what I wanted to sell it for, I just wanted to get some bids going.  I'd rather keep it than give it away for some low ball price, and with a camp lite, I could let this thing sit in the yard for years, and it would still be good as new.  I LOVE not having wood in a camper.

Have you tried Craig List? We sold our 6.0 there without too many issues.

I had one guy ask me my lowest price so I dropped the price by $250.00. He could you go lower and I raised the price by $500.00 he replies with the price went up and I told him he wants it then pay the original price.

Had another that wanted to rent it for a "few" months.  I quoted a monthly rental price plus a security deposit that was more than the asking price.

In the end sold it to a great individual that we still stay in touch with.

It went to a Happy home so we were pleased.

This is sad. I sold my 2013 16DB in 2015 for what I paid for it. $21,500 on Craig's list. Can't believe they are going this cheap now.

I don't see eBay as a great way to buy or sell anything that expensive. Craigslist or RV Trader or something like that would be more likely to find actual buyers, it seems to me.

I think that you should easily get your price out of that rig... It will be more desirable as Thor continues to strip down the newer models. I saw that trailer when I bought my 21rbs. Had it been closer to Ohio I would have grabbed it in a hot minute. There is a lady on the Facebook site looking to move up right now. Your rig would be perfect.

Will see about the market soon.  Will be selling my 2016 16TB next month.

USCG,

Did you ever sell your 16DB?

No, I had two offers at 13K but in the end, I did not think that was enough for me.. perhaps in the future.  If I ever get an airstream classic, maybe I will let it go
