Stunned and amazed

The human spirit thrives on risk... we crave it.

Agree with all of the above: trendiness, awareness through social media, and fuel prices. Plus, spring is the time to sell anything from houses to cars to recreation vehicles... except snow machines.

That's the buyer's markets then!

I think a lot of it is spring. When we started shopping we couldn't find much and then early spring many came up for sale and we eventually found ours. The market dries up in winter. I'm surprised so many are parting ways with the discontinued Ford's though. I admit the factory 4x4 sprinter looks cool but man I'm glad we found an E-series before they were all gone.

Ding ding ding ding!! I know I just sold one but it won't be my last. Every time I see a Promaster, after I spit out the puke, I have to look at a few Econolines for a few minutes and try and forget the ugly future I've just seen.

I completely agree, and.... that's why I have/am building my van to be 100% off grid for whatever the future brings.
And the lack of jobs these days aren't helping my income any...

I'm thankful for the consumerism of the Baby Boomer generation. I figure by the time I'm ready to retire a lot of these high-ticket toys will be flooding the market and prices will be low :-)

[GrumpyBadger]

I'll sell mine if the price is right!

As someone stated when I was working on my build... "it takes a couple times to get it right"

[accrete]

read through all the above and could have said much the same : )

The situation my wife and I find ourselves in is we would LOVE to just head out in our van (pretty sure I could sell it within a week as I have a small list of peeps on the want-it-list), BUT we are still tied down to our "jobs" simply to pay for the larger place to live in while we work. ugg. We have funds to live a simple lifestyle off grid if we just left in the van and got out from what we live in, but IMO, fear holds us to the jobs. Though maybe that is a healthy fear?

I frequent the Cheap RV Living Forum and read of peeps living in their rigs though it seems like many have made that decision out of hardship. Though I do read blogs of young couples working remotely out of theirs and I say to them way-to-go!

I bought my tiger Cx last December. Remodeled it and 4 people reached out and asked if I wanted to sell my SMB..

Wow,
