[VAC] Re: '48 A/S for sale

[Don Horn <donhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just for price comparison, the trailer in the attached photo was listed for
sale on RV Trader last August for $10,000.  I don't remember the ad details,
but I believe it was described as a "project for restoration."  Although the
ad didn't give the model name, it looks like a Bubble to me.  It was
described as a '56 model and was located in California.

(If the attachment doesn't make it through the mail filter, let me know and
I'll try posting it on my web site).

I fell in love with this trailer from seeing the photo, and I probably would
have been willing to pay $5,000 for it, but I thought $10K was too much for
this trailer in the advertised condition.  If it had been another model in
that condition, I might have hesitated to pay even $2,000.  On the other
hand, if I were one of those movie stars that presumably are the Iowa Boys'
prime customers, I probably would have gladly paid full price and spent
another $5-10K having it "professionally" restored.   As others have pointed
out, it's a combination of how much someone is willing to pay, and can
afford, on any given day.

By the way, I wonder if it sold, and for how much.  Maybe someone on the
list bought it?  Maybe it will turn up for sale again in restored condition
for twice the price...
