Horseboxes For Sale Where To Start
When you ready to sell your horsebox, it can be just as difficult as trying to find one for sale. You are looking for a quick sale, at the right price, without having to deal with all the non-serious buyers who will do nothing but waste your time. However, advertising horseboxes for sale doesn’t have to be a total bother. Here are just a few tips that will assist you in selling your box quickly and for the best price possible.
One of the first things is that you probably want to do is visit sites that actually specialize in selling horses and all the supplies that might go with them. There are “we have everything” pet warehouses all over the place, but they may not have everything you’d need for a particular animal even if they think they do. Their products may also not be the best quality because they try too hard to be a jack of all trades. So it’s best to go to a site that is only about horses; in this way, you’re certain to get all of the important information that you need to select the best box for your horse and particular situation.
One good tip is that you can try searching a site that offers free classifieds. There may be stores listing discount supplies on there or special sales and you may be able to find the best variety at great prices. The great thing about shopping online is that you will find boxes from all over the world. Delivery, of course is no problem because you can have items shipped from anywhere these days.
Also, be sure to have easy to find contact information in your ad. This may sound like common sense, but you’d be surprised at the amount of people that forget to include phone numbers or email addresses in their ads. Be sure that whatever method of contact you use, that you check your messages regularly and you are prompt in responding to any inquiries. Many sales are lost by a seller just taking to long to respond to questions.
When you do have a potential customer coming to look at your box, be sure to have all of the required papers readily available before they show up. This will make it easy to do a quick sale if they buyer is so inclined.
Some of the questions you may want to ask the seller before you buy are a) How long they have had the box? And, b) Why are they getting rid of the box?
Once you have reached an agreement with a buyer, don’t release the merchandise until you have full payment. It’s fine to take a deposit, but have the buyer return with the remainder of the purchase price before you hand the box over to him.
When doing a sale through classifieds or the internet with someone that you don’t know, it’s also probably best to only transfer the item to the buyer after their check has cleared or have them pay cash. It may be a little more inconvenient, but you don’t want someone cancelling their check on you after they’ve already taken the merchandise. The other option, of course is to set up the ability to accept credit cards.
