Including the right number of photographs when selling a float online is crucial for attracting buyers and providing them with enough information to make a confident purchase.

When selling a horse float, take photos from multiple angles to showcase its overall exterior, including front, side, rear, and diagonal views. Include detailed images of the interior, focusing on key areas such as the flooring material, wall linings, roof height, dividers, and door mechanisms. Close-up shots of the axles, tyres, braking system, and hitch are essential to help buyers assess the mechanical condition and safety features. If the float includes storage compartments, feed bins, or other functional accessories, provide clear close-ups of these as well. Any wear, damage, or repairs should be photographed to ensure transparency. Finally, consider adding an image of the float hitched to a vehicle to demonstrate its proportions and practical use.

As with anything you're selling, the more information you can give the better. But don't just list the specs and features, tell a story via a detailed and honest description! Selling a float online is about creating a connection with a potential buyer. Talk about what this float has done for you and, most importantly, what it will do for them. Talk to your buyer about the difference this float will make to their lives, the comfort it offers, the haven it is when you're out on the road.

The best way to value your float is to compare it to other listings of the same make and model. Try to find listings of a similar condition and mileage to your vehicle, and use those details to determine the value of your float.

There are a number of ways to spot a fraudulent or scam sale as a seller. Float buyers who offer to buy immediately without inspection or offer over your listing price are likely to be fraudulent. Additionally, buyers who refuse to provide contact details or speak on the phone are best avoided.

There has also been a rise in fraudulent buyers offering to pay using PayID. Although they may promise that it is a safe and secure method of payment, avoid dealing with these buyers at all costs and report them where possible.

Finally, always remember to trust your gut: if an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Interested prospective buyers will contact you directly through the 'Enquire Now' button on your listing, and you can then choose to continue your conversation with potential float buyers through email, phone or SMS.

The best way to buy and sell your vehicle safely is to ensure that you are dealing with a real person. Trust your gut when it comes to communicating with float buyers/sellers, and remember that you are under no obligation to continue contact with the individual if you don't want to.

No, you cannot sell a float under finance as this is illegal and is known as an 'encumbered' float. This is because the loan is attached to the float and not the buyer. While the buyer is technically responsible for repaying the vehicle's debt, the float is considered collateral for the loan, causing any outstanding debt to apply to the physical vehicle.

Generally, you do not need a Motor Dealer Licence to sell a private vehicle, although you may be required to get one if you sell multiple vehicles within a year. Every state limits how many trucks, cars, caravans etc you can sell before needing a Motor Dealer Licence, so be sure to check your state's regulations if you plan on selling multiple vehicles.

Whether or not you need a roadworthiness certificate will depend on your state. Check your state's requirements for selling, and obtain a roadworthiness certificate prior to listing your float online if one is required.

As with a roadworthiness certificate, the regulations around this differ from state to state. Be sure to check your state's requirements before listing your float to avoid any issues for yourself or the buyer.
