Easter's Bus Sales has a 4905 entertainer for sale.  They've listed it at least two or three times on eBay, and it hasn't sold.

Was thinking it might suit my daughter's family perfectly for the type of use they would put it to. . .  (No, they're not gospel singers, just a family of six - Mom, Dad & four little ones)

Anybody nearby who might be able to take a look at it?

I know some folk here have bought their vehicles from Easter's, with mixed results, and I'm OK with that.  Was just hoping somebody might take a look at this coach to see if it's ok, before proceeding further.  You know, the usual routine:  Body straight, little/no smoke from Detrioit, rust issues, etc.  Also would really like the VIN to check it's history.

Here's a link:

Thanks!

PS: I have a general idea about what they are asking for the coach $$-wise, based on their eBay listings.  That's not the issue right now.  I'm wondering if anybody's in the area who could wander onto their lot unannounced to look at it.  Sorry if I didn't make that clear initially.

Hey Russ,
I wish I were close enough to take a look at it for you. I too have seen it on ebay at least twice, which may or may not be a sign. And as you already pointed out you are already aware of what to expect about/from Easters. With that in mind good luck and hopefully you'll find yer daughter and her family a good coach, whether it be this one or another one.

Easter Bus Sales only puts a very small number of their coaches on Ebay or their web site.

You might find a different coach that is better for you if you went there.

Bill, if you'll go on a Monday, I'll meet you some place between...Greensboro?  I was looking at the pix of Russ' bus and see a D or C with 'light' damage sitting next to the 4905. 
Never seen a D up close...be interesting.  You got my phone number.
BTW, how many of the beach buses did you buy?

Russ,

I sent you a message. I will do what I can to go down and look at it for you if you still need the help.
