I have compared the various value guides and IMO the Kelly is closest to
reality. Its the highest anyway. www.kbb.com

good places to advertise are www.ep.com or www.westfalia.org . both of these
are free

www.autotrader.com and classifieds.yahoo.com both charge for ads

ebay is a good way to go if your in a hurry but there is a hefty fee to sell
there.

probaby a good idea to look at vans for sale at these sites and adjust your
selling price to be competitive.

check out www.cars.com to see a database of newspaper classified ads
