I've talked to the buyer on facebook. He has a few Monaros and wanted a Sandman, says he's happy with the price, says it's worth every cent.
He's in Qld and the van is being shipped up to him.
I for one am pretty impressed that someone would pay that much, but then again, less than two years ago a lot of people thought I paid too much for my HZ Sandman..... I don't look so silly now.
