Begs the question now..was that a good deal if someone got it for the asking price …given what buses are going for these days. |

So, a bus stays for sale after a couple of months and, like this one, has over 2400 views but doesn't sale until others think it is a good deal. |

Sounds about right. Think of all the psychology behind it. Everyone wants to be justified in their purchasing decisions. Lessens the likelihood of buyer's remorse. Knowing it has hit this tread likely causes them to believe others are interested in the bus and that it will get away if they don't pull the trigger. Etc. Etc.

It's also possible the price just dropped...

I would of bought it had I not purchased some other stuff. To me it was a no brainer. Walkthru bus that was complete with bumpers and seats for under 10k don't see that very often anymore!

| I inquired about the Bus. Has no title, so for me even if it was listed at half the asking I'd let it go. |

Both buses and the house, maybe, big maybe on the $4k... But that is crazy.
I e-mailed him right away, "I assume this is an April fools joke, if not delete the add and I will buy it." No response, he is a crappy seller.
I figured there is a .0000000005% chance this was not an April fools joke. Like the lottery roll the dice. |
