The short answer is that we truly don’t know and would not want to overpromise. We could sell your ramp within hours or it may take months. Someone who promises otherwise is not dealing with you in a forthright manner.
Let’s reframe the question into two parts:
- How does The Yard Ramp Guy go about selling used ramps?
First we search our “Lookers List” and any open quotes for new our used ramps. If your ramp might make a good match, we call the prospect immediately and send them a quote when requested. Next we post and optimize your ramp listing, using the most current SEO best practices. This increases the exposure and lead generator for your specific ramp. - What factors affect the timing of selling my ramp?
Beyond the obvious factors ⏤ including specifications, condition, age, and price ⏤ there are some subtle and nuanced factors.
-
- Photos: Do your photos show the ramp not only in its best light but also in its most honest?
- Location: Ramps located in isolated areas will naturally attract fewer inquiries. Ramps located where there happens to be a glut of ramps with similar specifications will be affected by the laws of supply and demand.
- Manufacturer: Ramps made by known, reputable manufacturers sell faster and for higher prices. Unknown makers or disreputable known suppliers (and we see a lot of this) can be sold, but the prices are lower. They can actually sell faster due to the lower price. But comparing two ramps with the same specs built by a reputable manufacturer vs. a non-reputable supplier is like comparing the apples to snow tires.
With more than 15 years of experience in appraising and selling used ramps, The Yard Ramp Guy feels confident in its ability to quickly maximize your ramp’s value, while doing so in a way that demonstrates the highest level of integrity to our sellers and our buyers.
