1971 GM RV Motorhome GMC Bus, $15k
I strongly suggest you put on your RayBans before looking at this ad. There are colors in this bus that have never seen daylight, and would give Graceland a run for the money. Who knew Ray Charles had a decorating license?

That thing is awesome. There's nothing in there that hurts my eyes... Maybe I need to get them checked? Were you referring to the movie theater carpet or the little chunk of Astroturf?
If it runs well, the price looks pretty reasonable some Mainer looking for a giant rig.

Someone wants a Wanderlodge off their property. This is a really good opportunity for someone up north in the MI area. I'd go get this tomorrow if it were in FL or GA.
Please- someone save this old Bird!

There are a few short-ish front engine flat nose buses (9 and 10 window) on the auction sites right now. I know a lot of people are on the lookup for this size.

Here's an old, oddball bookmobile in Pocatello, ID for $10K. Not a bus, really, but it gets extra points for being built by a company that also made Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles!

1972 rear engine Wayne with cat 3208. $7500.00 Looks pretty good to me, but is larger than I want to get into.
I have only ever seen three RE Waynes like this.
on face book marketplace.

There are several of these mid-sized buses for sale in Fontana, California on the GovDeals site. They close tomorrow...about 25 hours from now. Mechanical DT466 engines and MD3060 transmissions (all programmed for 5 gears as they sit now). I've bought 3 of these for myself or customers and been really happy with each one. 300k+ miles, but rust free, air conditioning, great tires, and the ones I've bought all run great.
https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?f...8&acctid=19243
This is just one of the buses here. You can find others at that same site, all closing near the same time. One of these sold last week for about $3500 (plus fees and taxes)...but they usually go for $4000 to $4500 (plus fees and taxes).

Monthly Auction in Sacramento
I have no association with this auction house but they often have buses for sale.
This month it looks like a bunch of Shuttle Buses:

Blue-Bird Q-Busses
Hi all, first post I think... Trying to give back.
Okay, so not skoolies technically, but similar platform.
In the search for the perfect bus (for us), we came across a few sweet 30' Blue-Bird Q-Busses (see Blue-Bird's webpage on the Q-Bus). After much deliberation, we decided we need a bigger bus, but man do I love the stocky look of these things + rear engine.
Delano, TN - 1990's 30' Blue-Bird Q-Bus, 5.9 Cummins (mechanical). Owner claims it has a 6 speed, but on the phone also said "AT545" (From what I read, they were available with the B300 6 speed). Already RV titled...
https://chattanooga.craigslist.org/b...426995564.html
Weaverville, NC - 1998 30' Blue-Bird Q-Bus, 8.3 Cummins (mechanical), AT643. Has 2 in varying condition!
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...0974700339439/
Scio, OR - 1992 30' Blue-Bird Q-Bus, Less details on this one.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...3758668159009/
Hope someone does something sweet with these!

22' Dognose on Govdeals
Looks like a nice bus with lots of photos. Only thing is it's a 2009 which may turn some people off. YMMV.

I’d buy one if it were super cheap , close by and had A/C (unusual to see a BE without like this one).
For a weekend warrior that doesn’t travel super far it prob make a good rig.
