Well, nuts, I logged in here too late to catch the functioning link in time, it's now marked as deleted by seller. However, many thanks for preserving this way, I screengrabbed your post here to go into my paper printouts pile. I'm still maintaining my mega-spreadsheet of these, with the impossible goal of documenting and tracking every one of these ever produced.

Did this listing have just the one photo?

I think there were a few photos, butI didn’t download them. That listing was deleted all of two or three hours later!

That happens, which is why I thank you for preserving it. I learned that lesson the hard way back in 2005 when I was first searching for one myself,** where I thought ebay & Craigslist ads were permanent things on da interwebs. When I figured out how they sometimes vanished in mere days, that's when I started getting screengrabs to make permanent paper printouts. Ironically, regarding this listing, my snagging of listings way back then netted one Portland area Craigslist ad that disappeared within three or so hours, and when I called the number I saved, the lady had to admit she didn't have her husband's permission to sell their rig. I can just imagine the domestic turmoil in that household that day!

**(I ended up with the Chalet #1747 in my avatar, which I sold 4 years later due to unexpected poverty conditions. It is still unsold today at a Facebook Marketplace listing in Florida in worse condition, offered by the 7th or so different owner after me. I can prove its mileage is 122k+, not the listed 22k+, btw.)

Thanks for spotting that newest listing! I was still going by the guy's Dec 2 ad, which I'll have to update at my Google 'for sale' map tomorrow for all the rigs / orphaned camper units I know of out there. Tough to catch all of these, which is why I'm grateful for anybody who spots ones I miss. Regarding this particular mega-lift #0251, the seller's latest price drop amounts to $2,305. He started out at $85 grand back in mid-August 2021. Apart from a wheel swap a while back, it's looked like this dating back to 2008, when it first got the big lift, custom bumper, etc, done by a guy in Virginia.
