I don't have any experience selling TMs, but I can tell you that when I was looking for one 5 years ago in SoCal, it was like finding a needle in a haystack. I was looking for a model <$10k though, so that was part of the difficulty.

One thing you could do is tow it down to Custom RV to sell it on consignment. I'm sure The Car Show does it too, but I am just guessing the demand in SoCal is significantly higher. You might get a price premium too, which would offset your trip costs.

In the end, like in selling anything else, the "secret" is in the pricing. Bargain-priced, I would expect it to go very fast, especially if it's in good shape.
