Now before you answer that question, we both know there was a M380 in Canada for sale for less. But we both also know that there were M380s selling for much higher prices.

Actually, I don't know that. what M380s do you know of that sold in that time frame for more than I paid? Not listing price, but paid price. In the past couple of weeks it is possible that Robert's might have sold for more, although I'm not positive of the selling price. Otherwise I think *every* M380 sold in the past couple of years sold at or less than I paid you. I was willing to pay that price *because* of your extensive posting history on WOG for this critter.

On the one "selling" for $5000 more, no, it was *asking* $5000 more. I made an offer on it substantially less than I paid you, for a variety of reasons including the lack of history and the 2002 tires. The seller said "Those are 200,000 mile tires!!! If I can't get my price I won't sell." and he proceeded to delist it. A few months ago it was back, with new tires, and the same price. BUT he did not get the price. I have been in the bus since then, and conversed extensively with the new owner, and he paid a lot less than I did. He also got a bus that was arguably worth less as well, so I'm not complaining. You got your asking price, and I got what I wanted.

My point is/was that *dozens* of these sorts of transactions occur through WOG each year. Likely somewhat more in numbers than Randy sells. If you only read what is said about Randy and WOG here on this forum you would be hard pressed to believe that there are sections on WOG called "Coaches Wanted" and "Coaches for sale by WOG Members" and "Craigs List, EBay, Coaches and other finds." A greedy forum owner would not allow such discussions, period. Instead, those sections have 100, 574, and 1,420 threads, respectively, 26,932 posts between them!
