It is funny all the talk about what they are worth and the values. LOL The value to the insurance company is "$0" to you it may be different. They will total it 90% of the time and hand you the smallest check they can get away with unless they can prove(and they will) that it is your fault some how. Just sayin
If not enjoy camping on the check.....

Somebody told me that there is a great place to advertise a bus for sale on a site called Bus Conversion Magazine on their Classified Ads page.  I heard they only charge $99/year and they also place your ad in their Magazine (Yes, they have a Magazine too), and they will also list it for sale on several Social Media sites too.  Great value for only $99/year.  This also supports their Magazine and the Forum they spend a lot of time and money to keep running with over 400,000 posts to date.   

I am a bit suprised that nobody has mentioned this before. ;D

I mentioned busconversionmagazine.com in my first post.

Why don't more people advertise their buses there?

Why didn't anyone else recommend it?

They seem to have low volume and buses don't seem to sell very quickly.  The price to advertise seems a bit high for the services provided and advertising coverage.  But maybe my perceptions are wrong.

They do have a great community of people that can answer many questions about buses...

if they pay 99 dollars, there is no money left after the sell.

I went back and re-read it, you're right.  And the third post mentions BCM also.

I'm ok with $99 as a listing fee, as long as that is where potential buyers will be looking.  We might gain some good insight from asking everyone: How did you find the bus you bought?

Sorry, Gary is a very busy boy and doesn't have time to read the Forum every day as you guys do. Someday he will retire and spend more time doing that.  :D ;D >:(

If you want the Cat's Meow, then this is the bus for you.  Clifford has seen it and likes it himself and may buy it himself if you don't hurry.   ;D

I'm afraid that this "Model 25" is not really anywhere near the beauty of the previous models. It is too boxy and awkward looking, and I don't think Cliff would want it, or too many other people.
