Looking for Advice on Selling my C-10

[Coley]

Ok here is my two bits....maybe three...lol.
You've got a nice truck there for sure and no dispute.
All in all.....good condition, apparently straight and solid as far as the pics show, not hacked up and presented as very clean and ready to go...all good points.
Now one thing to consider is the $10k tipping point....and I think it is largely a psychological one.
Most guys who shop north of $10k tend to be after something that has some really strong point for them....very original condition, quality swb, high option longbed,...that kind of thing.
So you are on the cusp of this but may not have quite enough on the table to attract a lot of possible buyers in the general truck market.
So what that means is you wait it out a bit...and market your truck like heck all over the place because somewhere there is always a buyer and you might have to work very hard to find him and it might take a little while.
OR you work less hard and target the 4 figure price range a little higher up but less than $10k...maybe an option for you?
OR you invest a bit of money to attract a few more buyers and this investment (in my opinion) would include a custom sport bumper (as already stated), the correct egg crate grill...and maybe change out the wheels and tires.
Remember you can always resell some of the above parts to pay yourself back for the more standard more market friendly parts. Remember trucks (like houses) that appear to be personally customized do not get a lot of mass market attention....you almost have to neutralize the personal preference stuff to attract a bigger market....thats just the way it is. As I said, its the same with a house that has a lot of wild, bright paint on the inner walls or crazy appliances, woodwork, or orange shag carpet....the realtor will ask you to go over and paint it with eggshell white and lose the other stuff, regardless of how much you like it.
All in all...I'll close with my initial statement...that's a nice truck you've got there and you probably wouldn't regret it if you found a way to keep it.
My two bits.
