That's $335K worth of parts.

It seems to be driveable. One wonders, what would a Fleetwood-, Winnebago-, Allegro- or Holiday Rambler-derived stick-and-staple look like after an overturn?

Driveable - maybe. I seriously doubt that anything above the frame is square any longer. I'd guess that the shock from the rollover would loosen and move most anything inside the coach. You can see signs of it everywhere.

I agree, from what I see, Now I ask this, Is this worth 335K ? Im sure there are salvageable parts, but 335K worth and thats the starting price and with no bids.

I suspect that $335K figure is from the insurance company. When they total a vehicle, they usually figure salvage at 18%-30% of book price. This seller likely bought it at salvage and is trying to turn a buck.

6 minutes left and no bids. Unless someones waiting to grab this at the last second it looks like somebody STILL owns an expensive piece of junk. Too bad.
All over now, no bids.

I'd bet that the seller is a speculator who thought he could buy it cheap and sell it dear.

Right now, he is at the end of the "Greater Fool" chain.

Here's an idea for a really high-end dealership. Surgically remove the curbside 1/4 of the coach, then build a showroom or implant in a hole in the wall of an existing showroom, so the customers would look right into the coach and see it all at once. We all know the RV dealers are just rollin' in the dough right now, so what better way to get rid of a few million bucks? Click
