1984 PT for 12K

[wbostow]

I found a stale ad from a few months ago where presumably the same motorhome was
listed for $15,000. I'm guessing from experience that it didn't "sell" two days
after being listed at $12,000 as might first appear. That is based partly on the
incommunicado stance, the lack of description, phone number, or email address in
the ad. (I find that somebody who sells usually will boast about it.)

It's been a bizzare year trying to track these things down. Often the seller
goes to show it and finds it won't start so takes the ad off to get it fixed, or
removes the ad for personal reasons, such as illness, or some family member
expresses an interest, or puts it on consignment.

Also, there seem to be a large number of people who show up promising to be back
with financing, etc., and then don't show, many, probably, because they couldn't
get a loan, or shocked to find they had negotiated an over-book price. These
usually get re-listed.

Another possibility is that there was a bidder from the first ad who wouldn't
budge above $10,000 until he sees the new ad go in.

It sounded like the owners were known to some here. So, if anybody has a clue...

That's less than 100 miles from me, so, if it's for real and comes back on the
market, I hope to see it, and perhaps fight the mirage-fatigue. --WB
