Actually, I was in Vegas about a week and a half ago for work. I got a "no turn on red" ticket on the way to the airport for making the turn on red ($150) and lost about another $400 gambeling while I was out there. Believe me, my luck isn't as good as you think. :o Let's just say that this certainly makes up for it.

 

I think the Universe just restored your balance.

 

The deals are out there. When I bought my truck I was shopping and looking in every classified thing i could find within a half hour they came out. At the time this truck was retailing for about 11,000 and whole sale 7000. I bought it for 6000 free and clear and still driving it.

Just a couple days ago there was a 78 corvette sting ray that poped up on usedregina (similar to craigslist) for 6000. There was a phone number on it and I figured what the hell, its worth a phone call. I called the lady said that it was her ex husbands car and she won it in the divorce settlement and wanted it GONE but she only takes cash and its first come first serve, its free and clear she has the paper work. So I jumped in my truck and went right to the pin to the bank got the cash but had to go through some screening bull**** because of a large withdrawl blah blah blah. I had the cash jumped in my truck and went 110mph for the 30+ mile trip but someone just beat me to it.

About 4 years ago when my mom started buying antiques at garage sales and selling them on ebay. Well we went to this estate sale where they were selling everything and listed a bunch of antiques. Well we got there and had 2 garages, we went into the one as my mom picked through everything looking for the deals then made our way to the other garage and there was an 87 GNX for $1350!!! I was just in awe, and told the guy that I would take it and he said that someone just gave him a check and that he just went to get the registration switched over.

You also got a great deal, I check our local usedregina religiously, I missed out on an older tent trailer for $100, like early 80's. but you definitely got yourself a good deal yourself.

 

Great find!! I grew up camping as a kid, we had Starcraft campers. We were in the local chapter, had a great time. My brother started off with a Coleman pop-up, and has since graduated to a 23' t.t... I hope one day to start with a pop-up myself, me and my g/f tent camp, but here in Florida, it's a short window of acceptable weather to camp in a tent.


Great find! Enjoy the heck out of it!!
