As the OP, the primary reason was to open a discussion about 2nd tier builders from the past and how much weight one would give to the "brand" when looking. Personally, I have no interest in this specific coach.

There is a guy out in Oregon that I assume is the same one that has this for sale that always has these bus conversions for sale.He must deal in repo's and Insurance buses because there is always somthing wrong with them .This one is better than most as it runs. Most of his ads say {must be towed)

      Is this guy legitimate at all?  There is/was a guy in PA who would find photos of buses on the Internet and then list them for sale through his website without permission or even knowledge of the owner of the bus.

I'm not testifying to the legitimacy of the guy or his business, but I saw one of the buses that he had for sale a few years back that was in an accident and the entire front end was caved in. Yep, need to tow, but it was on his lot. Insurance or repo liquidator would be my guess.

TGhere are several that does this including Bus For Sale and Staily coach.They will advertise your coach at the asking price then when they get a bite they will come back to you and try to beat your price down so they can turn a profit .There are several of these guys that used to Hawk Bluebirds that way ,but I am pretty sure this guy in Oregon is legit because of the stuff he tries to sell.They are mostly wrecks ,fire damaged and most are Entertainers.
