Anywhere to find the going price of van conversion candidates?

[TooSteep]

Newb here. I'm thinking about doing my own buildout of a van. Likely to start using it for a while as a 2WD explorer.

I've been scouring my local CL, and I'm not really sure of pricing. How do I find out what the going prices is?

For example, a 2003 E-350 7.3L diesel van in good shape with 100,000 miles.

Or a 2002 gas E-150 already partially converted, with 120,000 miles.

Any idea how to determine what a fair price would be for these?

Read that thread at least once from the first post to the last and you'll find most of your answer.

To find out what the "experts" claim the vehicle is worth:

Finding candidates:

the thread posted above
Craigslist
Ebay (filter to vehicles relatively local; also, through the Advanced Search you can see completed auctions to see how they ended)
Autotrader
any other local publications (grocery stores around us always have a free vehicles classifieds magazines; used to be called the Wheeler Dealer but not sure anymore)

Here's an example:

That looks like a great price to me given the mileage and cost of a Clydesdale conversion. Although I think the van is too long for my purposes.

One of my relatives had a rule about pricing out custom vehicles: find out what the owner paid in upgrades and modifications and offer him that; most of the time, its worth more than the stock vehicle and the owner just wants to get that back.
