1993 Barth 35' Diesel Pusher 8.3

photos and survey info..Not mine..

Nice looking coach 4 days left. Maybe 19 thou?

Didn't know Barth used a DD 8.2 or built a 35 foot coach after the mid 80's.

I would guess it is actually a 34.(35 overall including bumpers) 8.3 Cummins. Looks like it has been sitting a while. Mildew on roof, algae on the sides. The AC cover is shot, skylight cracked and bathroom vent hatch is gone. Beware of leaking roof. Needs a major cleanup!

Windshield is cracked. Left rear vent door gone. Tires look old too. Between Florida plates and Arizona registration, seems to have more rust in engine bay and around front wheel than I would have expected.

No mention of generator or battery condition. I wonder if it has a 6 sp Allison?

Needs a close inspection! Theirs says engine is good but performance is poor? Really good tires? Air brakes are leaking? None of the appliances were tested...

This might be worth a look but needs several things. Good bones but looking rough.

Looks like it may have been sitting in high water for a bit.

Oooh, good point.... Tires have watermarks. Might have been high water from a Florida storm, salt water at that. Might explain some corrosion, too.

It will be interesting to see if it sells and how much.

Were you able to get Data Tag imfo?

If it sat on the west coast of FL it could be full of rust. Used to see cars with the roof almost rusted off for the salt air. If in southern CA would be fun to go look at it.

About 2 hours left. Current bid $8,300. I will update later.

Final bid $8,700

someone got a great deal!!!

You never know it could be the dealer bidding it up to see what it's worth. We'll know if it shows up for sale again.

It would be nice to hear from the buyer. With some time and money that could be a nice coach. Good bones, I think. Cummins/Spartan air chassis should be a good start.

Bidding ended 4/16. Zero bids. What a shame.

I had my suspicions. The previous auction had several bids raised at 530 PM each day by the same bidder. The final bidder was someone else but not one with much bidding history. Only a couple bidders involved. It looked to me like a dealer fishing for a price range.

If it was "sold" why is the same seller relisting it? I would not trust this.

Have purchased some on eBay and have never knowingly fell prey to this scheme. How does it work? Possibly:

1. Seller posts item for bid
2. Seller arranges for two "Fraudulent Bidders" to run the price up
(Assume no "Good Faith Bidder" gets involved, or not to the extent/bid satisfactory to Seller
3. Seller alleges the winning "Fraudulent Bidder" fails to perform ie. required deposit not timely
4. Seller lists the item again trolling for prey
