I will be replacing the tires on my RV in the next year due to age (7years) and only 32000 miles (we park more than we drive). I've heard that truckers buy used tires and run them on their trailers, however I don't know of anyone who has actually sold their tires. I would like to know if anyone has had any luck selling their used tires-sure would be nice to get some $ toward new ones! If so, how much could I expect to get?

You bet there is a market for your used tires. I received a credit for my TOYO's with 20K miles on them. Don't look for your tire dealer to volunteer this as most consumers are used to being charged for disposal.
I can't remember exactly what I received but I believe it was around $25
to $50 per tire. This was at a "truck tire center".

People sell used tires on eBay all the time. They sell for good money. I don't know how you would ship a large tire.
1989 Southwind 32
454 carb. Mor-Ryde suspension.
Not pretty on the outside, but it's homey inside, works and is paid for.
56K miles and going strong. for now . . . .

Yup, in my case all my tires go to the tire guy, he charges me for disposal and then turns around and sells them to another customer.

Dump truck companies will buy your used tire in a heart beat. They use them for their tag axles. Call one or two out of the phone book and tell them you have RV take off tires and I am sure you will have a buyer that will pick them up as well. I have friend that owns a dump truck company and he told me that anybody I hear of the give him is phone number. He pays $50.00 per 22.5's tires.

Scott,
I sold 4 19.5's on Craigslist recently for $125.00 that were at least 10 years old. Had an email and call within the first 2 hours online and the guy picked them up the next day. There are a lot of folks looking for deals if they travel short distances or need a spare. This guy only traveled to a few local parks around DFW and didn't care about the age.

Recappers will buy the 22.5's if the sidewalls are not cracked. About any truck tire dealer either sends tires out for capping or can direct you to one. Good carcasses are worth about $50 each around here.
