Re: Resale vs personalizing

I build my trucks with the intent of them being sold . Yeah , I'm going to keep them forever , Sure, I'm a bit more realistic than that . I watch so many trucks that could bring good money get sold for pennies on the dollar . Personalizing is a bad idea . I build my trucks with the next owner in mind ,I also buy a website "potential business " to go with the truck and add just a small web address on the tailgate . All the while your driving it that ol website is advertising your one day sale to whoever pulls up behind you at any traffic light . it works better than you may think . Some good build pictures and info will bring the right buyer to you . Mean while your driving your toy and enjoying every minute, With no FOR SALE sign in the window . Although I think the shop trucks with a logo on the door look cool , I'd never do it .
