Another secret reserve.

I guess that means he wants to start a bidding frenzy with a low starting price or something.

Or is testing the waters to see how much people are willing to pay for it. The problem with that strategy is many don't bother bidding, but just watch, and then forget and the bid closes.

Lots of pictures, but no floor plan. Looks like a rear bedroom, judging by the window sizes.

The last time he listed his coach no one put in a bid. Secret reserves, in my opinion, hampers a robust bidding war.

Last time we talked about it.

From the last ebay auction.

Still awaiting the picture or info on the data tag. Would be nice to know the numbers on this coach.

$1,000 but I was told that he ended the auction early himself because of an issue with too low of a reserve. He tried, but wasn't able to get it raised, so he said he canceled that one auction.

They must have had some Euro paint and striping left over and used it up on this coach. I don't recall seeing the Euro exterior scheme on a non-Euro coach before. Of course we all know that there is no never in Barth. Or something like that.
