This is the same one Finn and I bid on at different times. They backed out of both sales in the past. My guess is that this time it has a $5000 reserve.

What happened the other times? Reserve not met?

I saw a really nice metzendorf a few years back... got pulled when it was not bid high enough... came back a week later, and it was bought... then buyer backed out... came back a 3rd time and someone did the 'buy it now' thing.... Think it went for 5,600.... it looked to be a nice unit. Polished aluminum pulled behind a hot rod at shows... I bid on it, but not close to the buy-it-now price...

It's been there for 4 years that I know of. We're not going to Rivernook this year.

Naw, they both wanted to sale it but he wanted one price and she wanted another. And she carried the big stick. They want to much for any of their trailers, but you can sometimes find a good deal on parts and pieces they might have for sale.

Wonder if they still have the KIT that needs a complete rebuild?

I bid it up to $4800.00 and won but they got sellers regret and sent my deposit back. I wanted to check just to see if it wasn't really solid gold skinned. :shock:
