Tips that get listings sold
Photos
Upload up to 20 photos in daylight: whole vehicle, cab, living and horse areas, floor, and any damage. Buyers decide from the gallery in seconds.
Video
Add a short YouTube walk-around if you can. It builds trust before a viewing.
Description
Cover make, model, year, tonnage or payload, horse capacity, MOT and service history, floor condition, and whether it is driveable. Be upfront about faults.
Location and price
Town or county is enough. Price it to sell — check similar live ads, and adjust if interest is quiet.
Messages
Reply promptly. Messaging needs an account on both sides, which helps cut down time-wasters.
Buying on Horsebox Marketplace
Get an inspection, never pay before viewing, check floors, payload, MOT and history, and take someone with you. Report anyone asking for money up front.
