He had it listed on Facebook Marketplace and a couple of aircooled groups where he would resort to name-calling and talking down on anyone who had an issue with his price which at the time was around $30,000.

Eventually he turned off the comment feature.

Anyways, that thing is absolutely not worth $25k. Justifying it by saying "Well find another one" can be said about literally any other bus in the world. No bus is identical to the next one, does that mean they're all worth a premium? Nah.


LOL i got blocked almost immediately after linking this thread to his ad on facebook, oh well.. Like TNT said i hope you win some glory!

Guess what Karen, got it sold to a like minded individual that realizes how cool it is and it’s potential. The perfect home for it by the sound of things. Glad you “Karen’s” didn’t end up with it so you could “wrap it” like your parents should have done. Very Happy

Too bad you couldnt get like $30,000 or something for it. That would have been a glorious reason to gloat.

No gloating here. Just figured I’d let you know how wrong you were. Turned down plenty of $15k offers an $18k offer as well as plenty of trade offers. Plenty close to what I was originally looking for that I’m happy and the buyer is happy. What else matters?! Definitely not your opinion! Just glad it’s going to a worthy home and not you Wink

Not pointing fingers at anyone in particular, but it never ceases to amaze me how much greed, hatred, and strife a split window bus can stir up.

The GLORY in the sale might be the fact we won't have to hear from you any longer...

$22,500 on $30,000 is 75% of the asking price.

If he got $22,500 with all that rust, he probably shouldn’t bother buying any lottery tickets for a while. One can only hit the jackpot every so often.

Not sure where the $22,500 number came from? I believe it was listed at $19,000 for a while so something doesn't add up with the story.

Yes, I grabbed it for reference.

Note it doesn't say it sold for that amount and doesn't come up the under the user's "sold" items, it only says the listing has ended.
