    I know that Blocker frowns upon putting other members down but this stinks of profiteering. This is the reason that prices are so high when a car that needs a total restore is put up at a price that a good runner/driver should be at. I have no beef with someone making a profit on a car but this is just total greed. A fair price for a 6 cylinder Sandman needing a full resto is less than $10,000.00 but putting $25k or $40k on it is stupidity. Anyone who might be interested in the car will see the silly money price on it and write the seller of as a wanker and won't look any further, when he drops the price to a more reasonable value he has already lost a sale as the buyer has long gone or is laughing at him for being so stupid in the first place.

    Agreed. Well said. Nothing wrong with making some money out of it and its worth more than what it was then, but you have to be realistic.

    Lets set the record straight on a few things about the sale of my van.
    I love it when someone starts a sentence with I know I shouldn`t put you down , but will anyway. The problem with pricing is that not one HQ been sold recently so there is no real history, so I priced the Van $25000 thinking if you spend $40000 to fix total investment would be $65000 not bad for a HQ Sandman but obviously I`m no expert so if you took the time to read the ad, it quite clearly states offers on or around $25000 and I will listen all realistic offers. It amazes me how every body questions my integrity and motive for selling the Van again read the ad it quite clearly says I need the money finish my house, I shouldn`t have to give a reason, but for some reason every body wants know my personal business .
    Now for my biggest issue. Integrity. and this is pointed at you Vombil. Never ever question my integrity when you ask me, would I take offers in the low twenties then turn around jump on the band wagon of all the over narrow minded people. To me that shows that you are a weak , narrow minded and have no idea . So next time people please ask questions before you make any statements that are not true , as I`m more the happy to answer them. At the end of day would love to see this Van restored some day , and my children have nicer home to live that's all I wanted .. regards Brett
