That's how you do an ebay ad. Well staged, good photos, cleaned up. All the things that help a coach sell they did. Well done. Wonder what it will go for.

Sweet. I like it.
Seat covering seems a bit strange. But it looks like great quality.
Well the bar has been set pretty high.
I can get there. it just might take a while and years of work-hopefully I have time on my side. Lol

That is a deformation which occurs in some coaches(mine) in the presence of heat usually sun. The skin grows and the ribs don't and since it's bonded the skin has nowhere to go but out or in. Extra soft bound additional stringers are in order.

As a note to this thread, as you know when folks bring their coaches to us they are interested in having big things done but there is a flipside to all of this. Nelson W. who I respect greatly his opinion said to me once after doing what I would call a really nice exterior refinish that now that is coach is so noce looking is scared to take his machine and do some of the things he used to enjoy. Said he used to brush up agianst trees and bushes, went down rocky dirt roads and all that to get to places he liked to go. Now that is coach looks so nice he's scared to do that. Wait--- we have limited his enjoyment! That's not right, we should use our coaches to enjoy ourselves and do whatever we want. In his case it may have been better to just leave the outside the way it was! In interesting observation-- maybe that's why I took the plung and painted my coach with air brushed palm leaves, a set of sharks teeth on the front, a battle record
under my driver window, flat base/clear paint bullet hole stickers everywhere. I'm fearless and will take that pile anywhere!
Never fear, we are not changing our direction but before you commit to spending 10K and more for paint understand what it might do to your trveling and enjoyment habits. I'll tell you this too, after you get a really slick exterior refinish you must spend time to keep it up. It's like buying a shiney black pickup truck for work. You will spend hours keeping it looking good!
Here I am the guy doing higher end paint work, I hope you guys understand that I try and look at the big picture of things and still if you want an awesome looking paint job-- we're your man...

Sold for $46,250!! Kinda good deal for a new RV,No?
|
It will be interesting to see if the deal actually closes, or if the coach reappears for sale in a few weeks. Many of those high dollar Ebay Motors sales fall through.

Also note that the winner was a new, zero transaction handle:

Nov-04-13 16:18:30 PST
Who at the last minute paid over $10,000 more than the highest bid:
a***p ( 228Feedback score is 100 to 499) US $36,000.00

Looks pretty iffy to me.

This auction MAY eventually turn out to be a bust. It has been reported that the coach has been transported to Cinnabar for assessment and appraisal to determine accuracy of claims made in the auction.
However, we already knew that the minimum bid had not been reached, even at $36,000. The "buyer" could have put in a bid at $50,000 or even more and probably DID bid higher than the $46,250 level. Once that minimum was reached, the bid at that level would stand unless someone else bid higher. That's the way eBay works!
