Our very first experience was quite an adventure.

Sold a 30+ year old Mercedes motorhome. It'd been sitting in our shed for 10 years, just got it out each year, got it registered and then put it back. You know, the kind of vehicle that if the rego lapsed, you would never be able to register it again with all the new regulations for roadworthiness etc.

Anyway we decided to sell so listed on ebay - we got a very fair price for it, but the buyer was in the very VERY outback of the NT - we were near Sydney.

We decided on an adventure, we'd drive it half way and meet them in SA (actually I think they had a lot further to drive than we did). It was quite an adventure - Left home 2 days before Christmas - the temps were 40+, we got there with only a few minor (well fairly minor issues), they arrived at the meeting place, paid their money, we spent an interesting hour with them. The wife of the fella was so pleased, she knew it would be OK if we were prepared to drive it half way across Au. Anyway it was a good way to start our trading on ebay.
