| True, not much different than most BAT auctions at the end..whittled down by how many people can afford this bus, how many people can get to North Dakota by Monday, how much coffee (or kool-aid?) they've had. How many people haven't heard about it? The question is, will it double by the time the dust settles? |

In the PGSG link there is now picture of what looks like a Westy rack.

| Don't forget the buyers premium of $1000 plus North Dakota sales tax, I am not sure if an out of state buyer can escape that or not. I believe it is 6 percent. |

well $33k won't get you this bus. the high bidder went to $33.5k right after. Farts.
And here I thought I was going to get this bus for $10k before someone put it on theSamba for the world to see. The days of a bus going under the radar are almost extinct.

$38000, that was quite interesting to watch as I do not know much about auctions. The bidding extended to 4 minutes if anyone bid within in the final 4 minutes.
Cool will make an awesome bus. Looks like it just went for around fair value, not a bargain. But great for anyone who was really wanting one. Looked like there were a few people fighting one real serious bidder, but then some other due swept in at the end and stole the show.
I’m any case there must be some flabbergasted owners of the property. It looks like that rusty old box filled about 30% of the value of the whole auction. Great for them.

Been that way for a long time now. And the bonus here is, anyone that lives nearby and attended this auction, now thinks any rat shit infested rot box bus with a dead dog on the back seat is worth $38K.

That’s been the case since the mouse gray deluxe sold on BJ.

If it has a back seat it should bring more, dead dog or not. |
