It's not unreasonable that a Skoolie conversion could attract $45k, but that one isn't it.
I don't care how many fancy fixtures and fittings they put into it, if they didn't remove the ceiling, and probably the walls either, they didn't do the job properly.
That bus is worth little more than a bus from an auction plus the value of any re-useable part because it all has to come out to do it right.
Harsh, but one day folk will learn that if they want top money, they better do a top job.

My point exactly. It is closer to a "steel tent" than a well executed conversion.

that steel tent is the same size and has the same layout (for the most part) as the plan for mine, so im actually glad someone posted that here. gives a good idea of what mine could look like, and i can see how to alter my plans

They dropped the price by $5K this week. Another 4-5 weeks doing that and they might get some action on it.
