How to list an all terrain vehicle for sale
When you have large items taking up space in your garage, the natural inclination is to sell them. In the age of the Internet, listing items like an ATV for sale has changed dramatically. A small written ad in the newspaper or a billboard simply won’t do the job in a timely manner. When you want to sell an ATV quickly and at a reasonable price, your best bet is to list it online. However, because people have become skeptical of everything on the internet, your post will risk going under the radar if it’s not done correctly. With a little time and a few key facts, you can turn your off-road vehicle for sale into a valuable piece that attracts a multitude of Internet traffic.
More images, more clicks
There is a rule with internet buyers: the more images you offer them, the more they will trust you and your credibility. If you’re trying to sell something and your post swears the item is “in good condition” but doesn’t have any proof, most potential buyers will ignore you completely. One image significantly increases your chances, but more images are exponentially more valuable. You want a good shot of the entire vehicle, but you also want to include images from all angles.
If there are interesting graphics on the sides, get close-ups of them. Is it a popular or high-quality brand? Take a photo that highlights the brand. If the steering column looks good, take a picture of what it will look like when you’re driving. Let the buyer visualize themselves driving the vehicle. By painting a picture with a large number of images, you not only build more trust with the potential buyer, but also force them to spend more time looking at your listing. This will make them more and more engaged and much more likely to respond.
Don’t hide what they’ll eventually find
Nobody buys an expensive piece of hardware without first seeing it in person. Even if someone responds favorably to your listing of ATVs for sale, there are still several steps before your money is in your hand. If there are scratches or dents, don’t try to hide them in your photos; explain them in the post. If you need any type of repair, notify the person concerned well in advance. You may think you’re hurting value, but in reality, by hiding a product’s flaws, you’re setting yourself up to waste a lot of time with angry buyers. They will inspect every inch of the vehicle before handing you a dime. If they find something you’ve hidden, they’ll leave immediately.
Instead, if you are open and honest with people online, they will be able to make an informed decision on their own. When someone independently makes a decision based on all available information, they become much more involved. They are much less likely to suddenly change their minds.
Take the time to make your post stand out, and in no time, the clunky object clogging up your garage will go from being an ATV for sale to someone’s new ATV.
