Business Opportunities

Before going to an RV auction, it is a good idea to know what RV auctions are and how they work. Basically, RV auctions are simply RVs that are being sold quickly to the highest bidder. Generally the inventory for RV auctions comes from bank repossessed RVs, and it can also be added to by insurance companies, or anyone else who is desperate to sell an RV quickly. Generally the larger auctions are well attended and there can also be dealers that are present at the auction.  Most of the RVs from insurance companies, are going to be wrecked and in need of repair.

Vehicle auctions usually will either give you time to inspect the RVs prior to bidding, or they will do the inspections for you and they will give each vehicle a rating of either a green light, a yellow light, or a red one, depending on the overall condition of the RV that is for sale. A lot of times, car auctions sell mostly old cars that have seen tough times. RV auctions however are a good place to find these types of RVs, but also newer RVs that have very little use on them.

Usually, people will let an RV go much sooner than they will lose their car. This is because people use their cars on a daily basis to get to work and back. No one has to have an RV, so a lot of times these come from people that are struggling but aren’t necessarily destitute. In addition, it also takes very good credit to qualify to buy an RV. For this reason, a lot of RVs that are sold at auctions are in very good condition. If you attend auctions regularly, you’ll find that not all auctions are the same. Sometimes you will be able to find really good deals, and sometimes you’ll find out that you just have a lot of competition.  When there is a lot of inventory, you can find some of the best prices.
