Camper, has anyone sold one on GB?

I have two campers, a 2015 and a 2019. After a few years of using both in different settings I have decided what I really want in a camper. I need one with just one slide that holds the table and couch, under 7000 lbs, two axles and an outside kitchen.
I am wondering if selling the two I have would be possible on GB? I would deliver to the winner as long as it wasn't OCONUS. I might consider an Alaskan delivery just for the fun of it.
Just tumbling the thought in my head at the moment. Campers appear to be at a premium at the moment much the same as firearms, which is weird as there are plenty on the lots that I pass in my travels.

You could always try it but guessing you might be better off with a local online classified ad.
Worth a go I guess, but I don't think I would do a penny start, considering the offering.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche

Well, that made my decision right there. Local market, here I come. Lol.

I understand that some people are using them for work at home office space. I would think a "Toy Hauler" trailer could be used as a isolation ward for a COVID patient. I was in the market for a Toy Hauler (got one) and regular in the market for sheds, trailers and cargo containers. I watch from Sierra Vista AZ to San Diego Ca. All have increased in price. Plenty of cargo Containers but very much less sheds and trailers. I asked the owner of a trailer store Are you closing down???? he replied "I sold them all".
I wonder where all the Katrina Hurricane relief trailers went. They could be used to house excess Covid patients.
Gunbroker not camperbroker for reason.
There is one setting beside a house I pass everyday. Great big ol thing that hasn't mover in four or five years.
Maybe you should tell them to list it on gunbroker.

Don't mean to criticize. But I've owned both campers and trailers over the years. From your description, what you have are trailers. Campers usually are fitted into the bed of a pick-up. Likely would be easier and quicker to sell. If folks understood exactly what you were selling.
Lol. I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing this out. Around these parts we pull our campers to the deer woods and haul our 4-wheelers on trailers. Its a redneck thing I guess. Travel trailers are what I have.
Would note this though from Merriam Webster:
camp·er | \ ˈkam-pər \
Definition of camper
1
: one who camps
2
: a portable dwelling (such as a specially equipped trailer or automotive vehicle) for use during casual travel and camping
I sold my motorhome a couple years ago. Living out in the boonies with not much drive by traffic I decided to take it to a dealer and sold it on consignment. I was very happy not having to deal with the tire kicking public and got a good price for the rig.
@susie -Just curious, when you purchased either camper did you search on Gunbroker?
if you can find an area where there is pipeline work and or fracking/drilling going on, camping trailers will sell at a premium........
So much reading between the lines on this discussion.....
One of my co-workers sold a camper last year. He put his on C-list and it didn't take long to sell, but he did have a couple no shows that frustrated him. I'm not a fan of that particular venue for selling things, but it might help to put it on as many outlets as you can for TOP dollar just to see if someone snaps it up for more money than you ever hoped to get. You can always go down in asking price.
Checked with the dealer near here that is on the major highway between Arkansas and Missouri. He will sell them for me on consignment. No dealing with the tire kickers. Thanks for the input folks. I didn't want to have to deal with phone calls, stupid questions and lookie-loo's.
