Since Lisa found a new hobby of going to the county fair every summer, she decided she wanted her own accomodations instead of borrowing a popup camper trailer. I thought I was making headway towards talking her into a new tent or a cheapo pickup slide-in camper, but she found something more her style.

So what should a 30 year old camper like this one be worth?

I'd wait until the last moment and bid twenty dollars. Seriously though, no idea. It looks nice and is probably bigger than some people's homes. By people I mean little people. That didn't come out right.

Anyway, I'd probably go as high as 800, though if you snipe that bid you wouldn't have to go as high as probably 620.

I doesn't look too shabby, for an old tin can. I'd buy it, if I were a fairgoer in a town without hotels.

We just committed to our high bid. Now to leave it alone and see if it sticks.

I saw that. But what I also saw is that the person pulled his sale. It was at the bottom of the bids link. Did I see something wrong?

Youll probably get it Harold as I read "On Sep-03-06 at 17:10:17 PDT, seller added the following information:

We DID discover a weak spot on the back floor where 2nd table sets." so that may keep others from bidding too high.

That was a bid retraction because of what Trally just quoted. Means a three hour oneway trip to Dayton if we get it. The same seller sold a 1971 for even more. Something like 1,400 or so. Lisa's friend that we borrowed the popup from paid $2,500, but it was also a bit newer.

Woohoo.

Did you win, did you win?

Yes, you did, it looks great. I think it is well worth that price.

It went cheaper than what I thought it would. Now if the Paypal deal would work so I can pay.

Paid for and we pick it up tomorrow morning.

Cool, have a great trip. Please take a picture when you get it home.

Will do.

Got it home in the driveway and I'll try to get pictures tomorrow. This thing needs a bunch of work done on it.

OK, I can't wait.

Looks pretty darned good. You'd expect some leaking or weak spots for something that old but overall it looks like a very decent camper. If we had one like that we'd go out camping more often.

I would like to direct everyone to my first item for sale on ebay. If anyone would like it, please bid or buy now.

Lisa is cleaning up the camper. I'll try to get you some pictures next weekend. It did have leaks. We will be replacing some of the ceiling and floor. None of the marker/stop/turn signals were working so I'll get to throw on a fresh set of chicken lights so we can show off. Didn't have any propane tanks and I don't think I'm going to bother with it. I talked Lisa into getting an electric hotplate and we'll also take along our propane grill. The fridge works and the 120 volt interior lights. That's about it.

Goodluck on your sale!

Cool, I can't wait to see it. What are chicken lights?

All of the fancy and bright lights that a chicken hauler puts on his or her truck and trailer.

Chicken hauler? You mean the chickens don't cross the road on their own?

Nope. They are usually chauffered down the road, 45,000 pounds at a time.

That's style. Makes you wonder who's in charge. You? Or the chickens?
CC, you may want to put a photo up of your item. Is that possible? If not you may want to try to find one on the net. It'll sell better.

There's another one on ebay, so people can see his if need be. Yes, if I'm going to try this again, I will take pictures. I have a ton of plates that I'd love to sell. I wish someone would take them all.

Did it sell?

Nope, no bids either.

Sorry to hear that. I was rooting for you.

One word from gold! That would have been such a funny spelling mistake!

You just lost me and I felt the woosh over my head.

Sen. / (- for) = LOL

Just got knocked over from the breeze this time.

'Chicken Truckers', we have them going past a lot of the time. Probably at least 10 loads a day. Cagle's chicken processing plant is about 15 miles away. It doesn't matter what highway you're on around here, you'll meet a 'chicken trucker'. They don't have extra lights on them, they are the cheapest looking rigs around.

I just delivered in Morgantown today. I reloaded in Ashland City.

You're getting closer to my place all the time. Daughter in law was raised in Morgantown where her parents still live.

I spent Monday night at the 105 on I65. Was that any warmer?

Nope.

54 mile marker is about the closest to our place.

Or get off I-65 about the 42 onto Cumberland Parkway and go east to 46 mm, then exit and south 20 miles.

Doubt you make it into this area unless you're on vacation and love boating and fishing. Dale Hollow Lake and Lake Cumberland draws about 8 to 10 million visitors a year.

Then I don't think you'll see me visiting you in the next twenty years.

Sounds like a great vacation! hint hint!

Party at Dave's place!!!

I used to have T-shirts that said,
"Come On Down"
with a picture of the farm.
We gave them to a few visitors that we though would really wear them. We had quite a few people come down the last two years, but this year with the price of gas, friends have been staying home.

Oh yeah that's right. I know there are a lot fewer poker runs around here that my old band used to play for. I think we haven't done any this year. Even charities suffer from high priced gas.

KyDave, if I come, I want to drive the mule!

and the tractor!

And let Daisy run!

I'd say be careful of the mule...

hahaha not that kind of mule!
