Where is best place to sell a 3 year old Gator Pit of Texas Dual Stacker Cabinet Smoker?

[Darryl Smith]

Could I please get some advice on the best way to go about selling a 3 year old Gator Pit of Texas Dual Stacker cabinet smoker? I'm ready for a backyard stick burner. Thank you for any help!

I'd start by posting a "for-sale" listing here: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...-sale-or-trade

... with pics ... then stand back and wait for the wave of suggestions ... or even possible serious inquiries.


(and Welcome to the Pit, BTW)

[Darryl Smith]

Thank you! I'll start working on that. Good to be in the Pit!

There’s lots of activity on Facebook Marketplace.

[Darryl Smith]

I've never used it, but will use every option.Thank you!

Pictures or at least the size so it can be referenced on the Gator Pit Site.

[Darryl Smith]

I'll get some pics and all dimensions. Thank you!

[Darryl Smith]

Thank you Jerod! I just posted the listing on this site with pictures. Any advice from you would be appreciated!

There is also a Facebook group The real bbq smokers buy, sell or trade you can join for free and list it.

Been selling stuff for decades and have one thing to tell you to get started.............there is no single "best place", magic bullet, selling site. Post in as many places as you can because there's no way to predict where YOUR buyer is looking at any given moment. Here, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and any other that serves your community. Clear, good quality pictures and a thorough, honest description of condition and features, including dimensions. Don't assume potential buyers will take the effort to chase other sources of info to determine features and size, the easier you make it for them to get "excited" and to make a buying decision the better............................if you're serious. And a bonus suggestion. The highest probability is it will be someone reasonably local to you. Don't volunteer your location for them to inspect/buy unless they make a firm appointment time and date. Flakes and dishonest people will be vague about committing..................just tell them something like, "good, call/message me when you know you can make a firm appointment."

[Darryl Smith]

Thank you so much Uncle Bob! I am finally moving forward and will take your wise advice. All the best!

[Darryl Smith]

Okay Uncle Bob... I just posted the listing on this site with pictures. I would appreciate any advice you have. Thanks again!

[Uncle Bob]

Darryl Smith, nice thorough info. The only thing I'd add would be to use the exact model nomenclature Gator Pit uses on their site as the opening line to the body of the ad. That will make it easier for a potential buyer to quickly compare to new. Might seem redundant to the headline, but that's how a lot of peoples comprehension works.

There's also a FB group for Gator Pit fans and guys post on there on occasion trying to sell their cookers. Usually have pretty good luck: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1476473269309421

Oh cool...I will try that as well. I haven't posted it as of yet.
