Sorry for the comment here but really? A reduction from $150,000 to $100,000?


I guess Gary can just take the money for the ad and the longer it stays in classified he makes more money but one does wonder if there is any moral duty to advise the owner of what the realistic market value is these days if the owner is earnestly wanting to sell it. I understand BCM is no an appraisal provider but this just sort of feels wrong.

Buyers with big check books find you when they want something special

If they seriously hope to get anywhere near the asking price, a few nice photos would be great. The few are hardly enough, and they are not that clear. What about the mechanicals and all?

If this coach is in proper condition, it is in collector territory.

It will readily cost the asking price to pay for a crumby one to be brought to proper condition.

This ain't the realm that we operate in...

Nice that the owner is throwing Gary a classified ad.

Happy coaching!
