Members helping members

[Gregory OConnor]

For market value I do a Ebay search then click on "Completed items"
(left side)this will show the ending bids for the last month for a
particular item description . Even if it was not a sucessful sale
(green= sold) you can get an idea of what the Market (the buying
audiance at e-bay) is willing to pay.

I think it is great service to all when members post that they have a
bus for sale. but Some members have a way of marketing their
coaches with suttle statements of product attributes and model
superiority in unrelated threads. At first I recognize it as pride in
ownership but then get annoyed at being tricked into listening to a
sales pitch. I wish there was an island to send this people to.
