[VAC] A/S Sold at auction



Tonight a gentleman called us to inquire about the A/S we have for sale and was telling us that he went to an auto auction in Rogers, Arkansas this week and they had an Airstream from the 1940's and the only thing wrong with it that he could see was that the back window was broken out but they had boarded it in nicely. He commented about the beautiful wood inside and the lamps attached to the walls. He also stated that it was real small.
I replied that my only fear about that would be if parts could be obtained and also that back then they didn't make manuals. If I was wrong I would like to be corrected.
The good and bad of it was the price. Good for the buyer but sad for the seller. It sold for $800.00.
Does anyone have any idea about the price one that old should bring in good condition? I didn't know there were any around here that were that old and I'm sure going to be more alert from now on.
