[Flaglife]

Skoolie School bus conversion off grid - rvs - by owner - vehicle...

Please Note: this is video of a unfinished product. Just want to get the word out that it will be available within the next few weeks. Meet Marbles ? a 2003 Ford E-450 Super duty 7.3L powerstroke...

it is in boulder so maybe reflects the local market? lol

I think we have reached the pinnacle of human stupidity.

"$250k 100% firm"

 

[gdaut]

Even for Boulder, that is steep.

 

[Buddha.]

You guys just don’t understand. The seller is an artist, therefore that tired old school bus is a work of art.

 

[Flaglife]

built with " state of the art tools ".... that with the "million mile motor" more than justifies the modest asking price!

 

[DirtWhiskey]

Wow. And lol.

 

[IdaSHO]

Pretty clean, but still well overpriced.
In this market Id say it is still a sub 100k rig
Again, it is a very clean build-out.

And the state of the art tools must not have included the $80 pex crimp tool.
Or perhaps the seller thinks that $200+ in sharkbite fittings are better
Seriously, there are a LOT of sharbite fittings in there.... I counted more than 25 alone in that visible water system area

Apparently they got some good stuff to smoke in Boulder.

Interior looks great tho I will admit.

 

[Peneumbra2]

Marbles, huh?
I think that someone has lost theirs...

I hate to ramble on about this but I can't help it. I would not comment at all if it were a listing by the seller, by the way.

Does anyone have any idea of the abuse and it would take to put 136k on a school bus?

For the $250k asking price it isn't even 4wd. There isn't ANY overland/van/RV type thing like this out there anywhere near this price that is 2wd? Of course everyone doesn't want or need 4wd but he's asking Earthroamer pricing for a clapped out 20 year old school bus.

I see about $40k total. Maybe 5 for the van, ANYONE even taking a second look should find out what he bought it for. I doubt more than 5 grand. Virtually everything in it except the composting toilet looks to be from Home Depot.

Just blows my mind that anyone in any overhyped city or overhyped #vanlife-style could offer this up with a straight face. But hey, what do I know about 'art'.

 

[marret]

Yeah, plus 1 for all comments and @86scottylast sentence.

 

[Todd780]

I'd like to see the messages they are receiving from the ad itself.

Price is firm.

 

[jlcanterbury]

It's a nice build.

$50-75k would be reasonable (and that's a lot for any 2wd school bus conversion)

I think the seller will inevitably realize that their price is insane. But if they built this to sell, I'm surprised they don't have a more realistic understanding of the market value.

 

[Todd780]

Has anyone messaged the seller asking if it's a joke? lol
