Welcome to our forum.
Question is this- she doesn't seem to be the "I'll list it in the paper and sell it myself for more money" type. How much should I give her for it in trade? Should I tell her we'll dispose of it for free when there's normally a charge? Let's just say she's deciding b/w Envoy and Sovereign for sake of argument (wants a loungered tub but is also one of those types that asks what she needs rather than tells what she wants- very "emotional" buyer if you're a Kool-Aid drinker).Thoughts?
We give $500 for the trade. Off list price, no negotiating after that. I do my best to convince them to put it in the paper or give it away. BTW - I have hooked up a couple of friends with sellers(cheap S.O.B.'s can't afford my stuff! )
I don't play the games with pricing that a lot of dealers do. When I responded with to your question, you should know that I have $500 to move PERIOD. I explain to the customer that they will likely get more for it out in the marketplace. Like Stuart I will give a discount on a spa move to whomever buys the old spa. Bottom line.......I don't want your spa.I've found that customers would prefer to use that $500 on steps, covermate, etc. and pocket the $$$ that he gets from the sale of his old tub. Unless you would prefer the dealer gets that $$$
RE: Offer to move the spa to a new owner or dispose of it.Terminator....ya think Costco does this?LOL
