"Interesting" Ad

[Leroy Eckert]

I don't have a clue Bob. I actually think the thread has relevance because it is about ownership.
I do know this. There are no fundamental reasons why a Prevost of the same vintage should be valued at 30 percent more than a BB other than marketing and perceived value. During my discussion with the owner of the Las Vegas Bird he made a statement that is very relevant. He sells Fender and other guitars. Fender guitars are famous because of their use by rock and roll stars in the early years. His statement. "Fender guitars made in Korea are perceived to be the best because of fabulous marketing. There are far better technical instruments."
BB has not excelled in marketing over the years. Hopefully, that will change.
One other reason not to shoot yourself in the foot. When a catastrophic event occurs what is to keep an insurance adjuster from fishing a public site for perceived value?? Who better to establish value than an owner??
That is my presented case in a
nutshell. Something to think about. I am done and off the box.

I think every Bluebird owner should continue to talk the value of their quality Bluebird into the ground until they try to sell it. You will have established the value for the buyer. At that time, don't bother with records, upgrades, history or anything else because they aren't important and represent zero value. Just hand the buyer your money.
That is like purchasing stock in Big Joe's Burgers then telling all you friends the burgers taste like #$%$.
I also find it interesting that money spent jetting around kicking tires is never taken
into the spending equation. The price of the bus. ???? I'm dense, I don't get it. Is it a deal or not??
I wouldn't tear up the coach in Las Vegas until you evaluate it in person. The guy may be nuts enough to have kept it in pristine shape. Based on what I have read on blog's that may be the case. It may be a jewel and it may not. I'm fix'n to talk to him for a friend. I will let you know what he says.
My opinion is like a nose, we all got one and I cleaned it up.. Mine is just different.

I see nothing to indicate that his '90 has any leg up on our '90, for which we paid $82.5K a year ago and might well have gotten for less. I said in another
post that I felt $75K was top of the market for a '90 these days.
