How to sell an RV
I guess it only stands to reason that I didn't know how to build an airplane and VAF got me through so now I'm realizing I don't know how to sell one. Other than putting flyers up on bulletin boards and forums, is there a recognized protocol and method?

One tip would be to not be such a stalwart contributor to the VAF community. That way, they won't try to dissuade you from selling and will in fact actively petition others to buy your plane with the goal of eradicating you from the community more quickly.
I guess you blew it early on.

There is a template in the for sale section for selling an airplane it might be a sticky.

Bob, I'm spreading the word about your beautiful 7A. I sure hope it sells soon, and hate to hear about your condition. Get well!

Bob, I've bought and sold 4 planes, but all were certified and were advertised on another site. Here are my thoughts: 1) You're advertising in exactly the right place already. Where else are you going to find potential buyers of RVs? 2) Your good reputation is widely known and most of us feel like we know the plane as well. If I was in the market for a 7A, I'd have already called you. 3) This isn't the best time of year to sell, right before winter sets in.
Selling a plane requires patience. It's an expensive thing to buy and it's a a relatively small market. FWIW, I'd keep it on the market but assume that it might not sell for a while. Use that time to keep it looking fabulous (as it does) and relax. It WILL sell...of that I have no doubt.

And you can find it right here.....

If more people would use it, there would be fewer "for sale" threads that go off the tracks....

I'm pretty sure nobody is answering the question and this thread is now about something else, although I can't figure out quite yet what that something else is.

Isn't the lack of an answer to your original question an answer in itself?

Make sure you are financially prepared for the remote possibility of builder's liability being used against you.
A ton of info on this site as well as through your favorite search engine. There are viable strategies.
