Bluebird Values

[birdshill123]

Jim : I am seeing the same price variance. There are no
accurate "blue book" values for ANY RV's. NADA for cars is quite
different. Ther are many thousands of sales of a car model every month.
Dealers and auctions report the prices and Nada uses the data to come
up with wholesale prices. Retail prices are from Fairy land. The NADA
RV prices that are on the net are not even close. They have nothing to
do with the prices of used units. They arrive at these prices by
taking a depreciation % from new Retail. Dealers do not report sale
prices to anyone. The values in the Blue Books are skewed to give the
RV dealer huge profits. I doubt there are enough BB's sold in any one
year to get any decent data. I have noticed that a lot of BB's are for
sale for a long time. Some have been on the market for more than 2
years. Obviously they are overpriced. Any RV is only worth what people
will pay! Reminds me of a guy in our city who had a 1970 Holiday
Rambler pull trailer, 25 ft. He was the original owner. Had it
advertised in 1998 for $7800.00!! After about 6 months in the Auito
Trader he put it in those free "for sale" papers. It was still for sale
in 2004. He died in 2005 and I dont know what happened to his jewel!
