They sell for a price that is determined by a willing buyer and a willing seller. Markets work that way. Some are higher, some are lower. The higher is affected by quality of maintenance, upgrades to some extent and other factors. The lower means you generally will have more maintenance issues.
Typically, if you are astute in your judgement you will get what you pay for. In any case, you ain't gonna make money. You will get enjoyment which is priceless.

I cannot replace the quality of my coach at $75,000 under any circumstances. On the curve of value the sum of the parts may be worth more than the whole at that price. Part it out in other words..Intrinsic value???? There is such a thing and there always will be, even if it is a depreciable asset.

We're relatively new "wannabees" and have been trying to figure out
what true market value really is. We've narrowed our search to early
1990's WB models and have seen prices from the mid 90's to more than
150K. The question I haven't been able to answer is what are the
SELLING for.

I'd really appreciate any insight anyone might have. We've talked
to a few brokers but not surprisingly they've ducked the issue (no
pun intended). Please contact me offline if that is more comfortable
for you.

Thanks in advance-

to our offer quickly. Possibly if there had been a highly-prized (by
us) feature set we might have tried negotiating with one of those
high-askers, but that didn't happen.
