Big bolts are tougher to sell. If you're not in a hurry you may be able to get a top price, but finding an interested buyer with funds is not as easy as with the smaller trucks.

They are harder to sell for several reasons. Not as many people want one. Those who want one may not have room to park one. The bigger trucks are harder to haul, which means the potential market is limited by geography. Grigg recently towed a COE from Washington State to New York but moving one that far is expensive and unusual.

One good way to research value is to watch them on eBay. When you see one fetch a premium price look both at what made that truck special, and how it was presented, the secret to getting top price will be in those two.

I happen to like them, and currently own three and I'm looking at a fourth. But I'm risking my marital bliss even admitting I'm looking at another one.
