P ut my teardrop on Craig list Today.

Postby BillyLandry » Thu Nov 12, 2009 9:24 pm

I put my teardrop up for sale on Craigs list around noon today. Would you believe I had 3 responses already. A lady will be coming to check it out
tomorrow. Maybe its because of the price---$2000---- I had cataract surgery
tuesday and I am not suppose to lift anything more than 20 lbs. I hope there is
some one available to lift the galley lid so she can see it. :thinking:

Great price...

That's a low price, a great deal for someone. Mine will have cost me over $2k by the time it is finished, and that's not counting time and labor. Are you sure you're asking enough? Yours looks like a nice camper.

My wife and daughter said the same thing that I had set it at a low price. I guess I am just looking for a quick sale. I would like to start on a TTT.

Price is what you'll be happy with when it's all said and done. Unless your a mfg, you can't count your time. You do it for the enjoyment and because you want to prove to yourself you can do it. Besides keeping busy on a boring day. ;)

You are right Gage. I have only built this one so definitely not a mfg. I feel the same way that you can't count your time. A lot of the enjoyment was in the build and using it to camp in and evacuate from a hurricane. Yes I will be happy if I can get $2000 and move on to the next project.

Great!

That's great - I think you will be able to give someone a really good deal on a nice camper. You'll be happy, they'll be happy, that's the perfect transaction...

Billy,

It's hard to see the first one go away. But it's nice to share the teardrop experience with another person as well. Hope you find a good home for your tear.

I not only sold my teardrop, I made a friend.

If you want some kinship in the above points, just look at the first 44 seconds of this video. I've always thought this was just a neat guy and nice human being. In fact, enjoy the whole video.

Billy,

Nice trailer! I'm sure you will get your price easily. Looking forward to watching your TTT build. I'm sure it will be nice to have a standie when you need to evacuate.

Scott,

Thanks for posting that video. What a terrific man. The world could use some carbon copies of him!

I also never knew that original TDs were made from bomber wings. That's really interesting!

Hate to burst your bubble but that has never been proven. Alum on already built airplanes was no good because it already had a shape. But what is known is the alum sheeting came from 'over stock' because it was no longer needed for bombers that were no longer being built in the numbers of World War II. And became readily available after the war. :yes:
