is almost identical to my Rexair apart from having a driver's door, a rear window and (unusually) twin beds. US book price is $36k, and I reckon the reserve is $30k. I paid £37.5k (GBP) for mine and was (am) very happy with it. However, the prospect of seeing this go for £15k makes me want to Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

I'm almost tempted to buy it.

Hi Dougie

Just shows how much the importers make. They reckon on it costing a third again so we are looking at this van being £20k on the road over here. Thats £17k profit, not bad hey

Go for it Dougie, and leave it in France. Think how much you will save on Ferry crossings, AND you can brag about your "little place in France".

Extending your line of thinking (which I like), I could leave it in the US, which would of course save me ever more on ferries. Bragging about my "little place in Arizona" also has a nice ring to it.....

In fact, taking this to its ultimate conclusion, if I don't buy it, I'll save even more money. So now I can brag about "my little place on eBay", and it's cost me nothing.

Thanks.Very Happy

Dougie.

Hi Dougie

An dedicated and accomplished tightwad after my own heart I see.

I can claim only distant, and very diluted Scottish blood, though I am entitled to wear a tartan skirt. Embarassed

It's good to meet a master practitioner. Very Happy The eBay bit I especially like. That could start a whole new trend in one-upmanship.

Cheers

Dave

Hmm. It would have to be topical though to work properly, otherwise it would just get ridiculous. A relevant link would have to be posted to something which you thought was amazingly good value for money (such as this RV) followed by an appropriately ostentatious description of how you didn't buy it. This would then be finished off by an proper sneering comparison to the previous person's claim.

I expect I'll get a rollocking now for going off-topic on my own thread. Sad

Dougie.
