Brian,
Go here to post photos..

Jim Bounds has a for sale section and also just showed two coaches on his Daily Pose -- $25k and $44k -- and said they were both top coaches. One of the best coaches around recently sold -- asking price was $30k.
Prices have been recovering of late -- but may still not be a good time to sell.
Good luck,
Dennis

As has been said, market value and real value are two different things. During the height of the gas price spike a nice coach in Florida was given away for $3500.

Real value is what keeps you pouring money into a coach (airplane/boat/sports car). Market value is what makes you slap your forehead afterward!

I will venture a bottom dollar guess. But:
Value depends on the "market" much more than on how much went into the coach. The market includes location, quality and prices among competing sellers and the psychology of buyers. A coach went for (as I recall) $2,500 in rural Utah a few weeks ago. It was in reasonable condition aside from needing tires, battery, and the servicing of systems.
At any one time there are a limited number of buyers willing to fork out cash. For example, in the past week, 11 bidders have bid up the price of a 1974 GMC in Salt Lake to $1,650. (Ebay # 190470574353) Only 4 of those bidders were willing to pay more than $1,000. It closes in 6 hours and the reserve has not been met. It has some paint issues and a cracked block. Given that it could likely cost upwards from $9,500 to buy it and get it running and looking good, I would say the seller thinks it to be worth more than that ($11,650) amount, but the bidders may include someone with an extra 455 in storage. Even though economists know price is determined by supply and demand, I believe that means price is determined by an agreement between a "well informed" and somewhat desperate buyer and a "well informed" and somewhat desperate seller.
If I was in the market for a coach, I would prefer to pay $2,000 for a local coach and put in $9,000 to assure it was presentable (my wife's criteria) and reliable.
As a former professional economist (now an amateur) I suggest that you should not sell a nice running coach for less than $11,000 unless or until you are a distressed/desperate seller.
