Unless it's clapped out, buying a sorted out vehicle is beneficial. Some platforms will last for many, many years. When the engine or other drivetrain items wear out, you can rebuild them. That's where some of the value lies. On more modern stuff, you have too many electronic gizmo's. Once they fail and there is no replacement, the vehicle becomes worthless. Some people will invest in a platform that might seem old, but will endure for many more years than it's modern counterpart. The value of older vehicles is starting to catch on with some people. Go price a kingpin dana 60. That's ancient technology, right?

Well, just glance at the Classifieds section right now...
Almost every listing on there has the famous **Price Drop** edit...
Reality is gonna be slapping some folks pretty hard now that prices are getting back to where they should be

Ask 100k for it, mention some farkly bits, and it will sell FAST
Raise the price - might get someone to jump on it before the next price-hike.

Or turn this into a charity lottery, where like those yard o’ flamingos, the ‘winning Expo member,’ chosen by getting the most dollars contributed in his/her* name, wakes up one morning soon to find the Capri dumped right in the middle of his/her yard!

Capri Cowboy Camper FREE TO GOOD HOME to any Expo Member!
Got the Capri Cowboy Camper home and had my woodworker friend take a look. He said no problem to repair it HOWEVER it would be at least 3 months before he could get to it. I am too damn impatient to wait that long so the Capri is now FREE to any Expo member if anyone is interested. The bottom...

I propose we create an ExPo "Classified Pricing Council."
Members will be selected through a secret midnight ritual on the summer solstice at a place only accessible through true overland travel. I don't want to give to many details away about the ceremony, but there will be robes, chanting, winching (synthetic lines only for obvious reasons), and wiffle ball bats. No ground fires, but artificial fire boxes are ok.
All requests to publish ads for vehicles will have to go through the CPC. They will review the vehicle for overlandiness and rate it on a scale from 0.1 to 7.5. (7.5, of course, being the highest rating.)
The CPC will also review the requested price. They will have the ability to determine the final actual listed price. All of their pricing decisions will be final. Anyone caught trying to sell an overpriced vehicle will have to pay a $100 ExPo tax. (Adjusted for cost of living to the seller's locality.) The tax will go to keeping pop-up ads off the website.
Photographs of vehicles will be limited to mall and other parking lot shots. That way we will limit embarrassment to those who have never taken their rigs off payment. (For anti-bullying and inclusiveness reasons.) All classified submissions must also come with a complete rust disclosure, known as form RUKMXP-91.
Nominations for the CPC must be made in writing and submitted no later than Scott Brady's birthday. (If you don't know that date, then you obviously don't belong here.)
And all vehicles must be sold with a roof top tent. Plus, we will have a subgroup for California sales because... yeah.

You can have your choice of co-chair, treasurer, or sergeant-at-arms. Be forewarned: each comes with a certain degree of danger. Its all in the by-laws.
