I have listed my Hess Training Van GMC for sale and have posted pics on the web sight along with other items I have up for sale. I am downsizing to one running GMC so I will be parting out or selling outright the two other transmodes I have.

If someone here does not buy it within the week I will be listing it on EBay and CL.

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=32276&title=parts-for-sale&cat=4678

I am asking $100 for it and it is in fair to decent shape. Sold the other one I had to some guy from Australia. But he is a sucker and will buy almost any GMC he sees. I am selling this one for less as I want to keep it in the god old USA. But given the right circumstances I might even sell it to some one from New Zeland.

G'day,

As the most "vociferous" of the three Australians who contribute to the GMC
net regularly I received a number of OFF NET emails asking me if I'm the
"sucker."

I had to do some checking as I have two Hess GMC Training Vans. I have one
here in Australia and the second is in Double Trouble in the USA. I have
verified that I bought one listed on eBay from Mr. McGee for $225.00. The
second one I bought from Larry Calhoun for $100.00. Both of them were in
pristine condition and in their original boxes. Since I paid Mr. McGee over
twice what I paid Larry obviously he was correct noting that I was a
"SUCKER!"

Since Mr. McGee feels that I am a "sucker" perhaps he will send me a refund
that brings the amount I paid for his Hess Training Van down to a level that
would remove me from his "sucker" list?

Rob,

Now now, I did not name you. LOL And As a good fella here in the States "We don't give no refunds" If you want one you need to go see my partner Mr. Smith & Mr. Wesson, and if they are not in Ms. Glock will be glad to take care of you. They all give high caliber service that is quick and most of the time painless.

And besides the packing was worth the extra. Seems you said you have another that is a parts coach for these two good ones.

And I know you recognized a bit of ribbing when you see it.

Marcus

Well I was about to write something sarcastic, but I am sure it would be lost on many of you. I am sorry if Rob thought I meant harm, but it was a joke. And I think he knew it and was giving it right back to me. I only pick on the people I like. And he can hold his own. Not sure he needs help from the peanut gallery.

A JOKE. Grow up and get a sense of humor.

Don,

When you've been on this list a little longer you'll learn to recognize the
sometimes subtle humor and friendly banter that's exchanged among friends
here. We seldom have any caustic exchanges which could be considered
"flaming" -- and those are quickly squelched.

I'm sure the comments you object to were given and received with good humor.

Ken H.

Marcus,

I wasn't sure which way to take it but I figger'd it was tongue in cheek. If
you had named me I would have known to take it tongue in cheek because it's
true! ;-) I have three Barbie GMC's and as noted two Hess GMC's and a fair
few Hot Wheels!

When the OFF NET messages came in I decided to write a carefully worded
response that could be taken either way also. From the responses received I
achieved my goal! ;-)

You are correct I do have a third coach to support the other two with parts.
I bought it mainly for the two Zip Dee awnings. I've got $1650 in it and
that's cheaper than one awning! I reckon quite a few of the other crazies
here have a "spare" coach too!

For those of you that are considering purchasing items from Marcus I would
not hesitate. Along with the Hess Van I purchased a pair of NOS front turn
signals from him, when one of them turned out to be defective he took me at
my word and sent me a replacement FOC no questions asked. I offered to send
the defective one back but he noted not to bother.

Having said all this I won't be bidding on the Hess you currently have as I
don't need any spares for the other two!

Well, I know of one guy in Oregon that should call me a"Master Fish
Baiter" for people that some want to refer to as "S______"
He was accusing that I buy a $16 part from Chuck Aulgur and sell it for $65.
For one, I do not operate on that large of a margin. If the truth be
known, he would find that Chuck sent me a proto type and I had our
designer do a cad drawing and charge us plus, we supply parts and
other things to Chuck as a way to repay him for his service and trust
that we will produce and distribute the product.
I do not know of any that dedicate this type of time and funds to
develop accessories to the community.
The same person told Chuck A that he was disappointed that he allowed
me to develop the Reaction Arm System.
If he knew how many hours went into testing with several people and
what we gave them for the time and the hours of design time that was
invested, I don't think there would be any takers. Just to supply the
So if they want to refer to me as "Master Baiter" I will accept that
is some ways.
We never have people that fall for that bait as we publish almost all
the prices and avoid that Parl Harber "suppies" attack.

You'll have to wait for that photo. Our suitcases were full of the toys our baby girl was given. Daddy's toys will have to wait to be shipped with a few other things that didn't fit in the suitcases. It was either that or pay another $50 to US Air to haul a third suitcase back to Birmingham.

Either way, I'll get a pic up next to my Bill Brown metal desk cutout one of these days!
