I have decided to up/down/sideways-grade so I want to sell my 84FC

[Keith Strehle]

Let's start with the facts; I am not a professional salesman, a
professional mechanic, or an expert on the intricate details of motor
homes. I'm just a regular guy who has a healthy respect for things I
don't understand.

But this has been akin to repeatedly shooting myself in the foot
because it feels good when I stop. I simply decided I want to buy
another motor home and thought this would be a safe place to start
the process. I am not fortunate enough or wealthy enough to own two
of them. I thought I would simply put the word out there to anyone
who may be interested in buying my Bluebird. It was really off the
cuff and intended to be a friendly exchange of ideas. Sort of
like, "Hey, anyone wanna split a pizza"? You know, friendly stuff.
Perhaps it's a difficult concept? It was not intended to be an
invitation to bash me, my motives or my choice of words.

My sincere thanks to those among you who offered positive feedback.
I appreciate it and will make good use of your suggestions.

Perhaps I erred in submitting that post? It won't happen again. I'm
beginning to understand why others have decided to take a pass on
participating in this free exchange of ideas.

Now I know why they call it the "Silly Season".

Merry Christmas...

Keith
84FC35SB (still for sale or trade)
