We are finally ditching the '99 SC2 (after '99 quarts of oil burned) and
getting an 07 VUE. I went ahead and had the dealer install a full Blue Ox
package including new towbar, so now I am left with a Demco Aluminator ($699
MSRP). What's a fair price to ask? What's a good way to sell it other than
propping it in front of the RV with a "For Sale" sign on our next campground
stay?

Thanks,
Steve

Put it on ebay.
You can put a reserve price on it so that if it doesn't get bid high enough,
you don't have to sell it.
Make sure you put a lot of pictures of it, in the ad.

Judging from completed auctions on ebay, you should get between $150 and
$250 depending upon the condition. Skip the reserve and start the price
low-- it'll make you nervous but you'll get more action. Figure out what it
will take to box it up, weigh it and let ebay handle the shipping
calculation for you. Post lots of pictures and a good (and honest)
description of the item, age and condition and should do better than the for
sale sign while on the next trip. If you live near a major metro area you
can also use craigs list for a free classified ad.
