Folks,

We continue to add high quality Ads to our Wanderlodge Trader site. Check in periodically to see what's new! Smile

You make this sound like this could be a real step forward for the bird community. Thanks for giving it an opportunity!

If the goal is to maintain and increase the value of our brand, it would seem reasonable to have a "system" where new owners are not disappointed finding out what they should have known before buying. It should also help current owners better understand the value of their coach, and, hopefully, what will increase it.

Where do we go from here? I looked at the list on NADA but honestly was overwhelmed.

Hi Gregg,

Part of the problem I'm having is keeping all the sellers happy. I want everyone to want to advertise on wanderlodgetrader.com. If we create a grading scheme that is unobtainable or discourages the fixer-upper than I think we all lose. How 'bout if we have a grading scheme of say zero to one hundered. What if we isolate the ten major subsystems in a coach and list out the top ten items for each subsystem. I can create a Classified Ad Tag for each. As each item is ticked off the seller gets a point. Since there are a hundred possible points, or maybe more, everyone is virtually guaranteed a good score and surely no one will obtain a perfect score. This way buyers will be informed of what to look for and sellers have a chance of ranking well, even if their coach needs work. It'd be sorta like the Olympics where typical participants' score range is 99.0 to 99.99! What do you say folks?
