I was posting all over the local ad, but if you are familiar with the Antelope Valley, you know that I am in middle of nowhere. It was listed here (of coures), traderonline (which only invite con artists), and craigslist (some con artists, but a couple of good leads).
The pricing seemed to be competetive around 20K, but the owner actually had a friend who bought it (so all this work was for nothing) for the 21,500. She had been asking 24K which was really in line with the book values, but it was taking forever to get interest when it was listed at that price (which eventually came down to 20K). I am sure that our location was the huge handicap there.
What to ask really depends on how much of a hurry you are in to sell. I think that the sale price in this case was fair to both parties. But, most importantly, I have my garage back!
Where are you in SoCal?
