Buyer's market
Vintage Birds is a good example of sellers who are lost in some time warp. Many
of the prices are just so far from reality that it is a joke. I notice some that have been for sale for well over a year. A BB is not an investment. At least not a $ investemnt. It may be an investment in: joy, fun, learning, frustration and ultimately enjoyment and satisfaction. There ere plenty of Birds that are not on vintage Birds with the same high expectations. They are not selling. But I bet if the prices dropped these babies would indeed sell. If I were selling my Bird I would try and price it to sell. That would probably mean I would take a big loss. But what other choice is there? You either want to sell or decide to keep it. Advertising at a high price simply scares a way potential buyers. BB's are not OJ futures that may recover their value. It will only get worse. Bruce 1988FC35 |

Indeed, there's a '93 PT-40 on Vintage Birds (with All Birch Cabinets) that was being offered at $159,000 before I purchased my '95 (for $40,000 less) nearly 2 years ago. I see that it's now "reduced" to $109,000 but I suspect that price is still on the high side.

I would appear to me that nothing is selling. If you check e-bay,( and
it could be argued that e-bay is a test of the real price point on most any thing and especially vehicles)you will see what a BB is worth in todays market. If I was in the market I would offer 50% of what is being ask for many of these BB's. Anyone think I wouldn't walk away owning one? Problem is I'd be owning two of them which is one of the things stopping me, plus the fact that I have all that I need and feel pretty attached to my ole buddy "The Napper". So I'm with Jon. I ain't much worried about it. I knew from the minute I considered this a couple years ago that I wasn't buying an investment (money investment). As to investment in fun and interest? Worth every dime and then some. Look at what is happening with the stock market. At least I can feel and touch and enjoy the money I am lossing on the Napper.

Its a smart sellers market also. With prices realistic it is a
goodtime to move up to another unit. Too many folks want to score on their sale and score on their new purchase. ie; If a 88FC ower sold it 3 years ago at $45,000 and moved up to a 99LXI for $260,000 moveup cost would have been 215,000. todays market that cost with a $22,000 sale and a 150,000 purchase would be 128,000. Even if you are getting out of RV'ing your money will go farther for the next toy. I bet the first folks to show good prices are the dealers. He who dies with the most miles traveled wins.

Glad I am not looking to sell. > > Scott Forman > 86 PT38 > Memphis Well before we get oft the subject of lost dreams and other things? I just wanted to state here that part of the reason that I'm not looking for another rig is that just to buy another rig I would haft to pay sales tax on another unit. Our sales tax up here is about 8% Plus License tabs. Well it doesn't take to much figuring out that if you got a deal on a 40,000 dollar rig your taxes would probably be around 3,200 dollars plus then the license tabs of 100 dollars. Nope my old Scottish background says to me that McJon say put and put what ever you have in your fuel tank as you can go along way by not moving up! Himm I found diesel at 4.01 near here and I just can't figure out why just a few miles down the road fuel is selling for more that 4.50 a gallon. Jon |

There is an 89 from Florida that we checked out 5 years ago. That individual has finally lowered the price below 100 grand. That unit was worn out when we saw it at RIV.
