i may have found a buyer for the bus. A gentleman in boston is just starting a limo service and he thinks that a jacuzzi bus would be a nice asset to his fleet. he said there are lots of buses that take people out on the town in boston, but none of them have a jacuzzi!

I live in New England; if he needs help with transportation, gimme a holler. I have a class B CDL, passenger & tank endorsements, and can drive a standard shift.

What's the name...I might have heard it.

Didn't you used to live in Minnesota, Jaraxle?

Jarlaxle · 07-16-2009, 06:15 PM

Uhh, what?! No, lifelong new Englander here.

the_experience03 · 07-16-2009, 08:33 PM

Huh...I think I'm going senile. I've inhaled one too many cans of brake cleaner I think.

the uv lights come from wal-mart for about $10 each. someimes it's difficult to find them until they put out the halloween stuff. they are 110 vots, but very low amp draw.

Thanks for the intel... the gears are turning!

I have been told you have one of the best systems for using the stock heaters by putting in a closed loop?

Could you steer me to where it is explained?

I am worried about sprouting a leak in my heater loop and draining off all my anti-freeze before i realize it.

Thanks

ends a week from sunday

good luck!

lapeer20m · 09-16-2009, 05:46 AM

almost a week into the auction and she's only at 100 bucks. If i have to put her on again i'm thinking about doing a no reserve auction.

Sojakai · 09-16-2009, 06:34 AM

Always better not too. People tend to not bother with them as they dont want to put a bid and then find out that the reserve was not met so nothing happened. If I see reserved on something, I go to the next one.

Sorry to say.

Thundarfoot · 09-17-2009, 06:23 AM

I do a lot of ebay'ing and I ALWAYS skip auctions with a reserve. I never understand why they dont just set the open bid to = whatever they want as a minimum.

I mean whats the point of having say a $400 open bid with a reserve of $700. and then I bid $400 only to be told its not = to the reserve. blah pain in the ass so I skip reserve auctions as do a lot of peeps I think.

I recently saw either a 2006 or 2007 Lincoln Town Car 120" stretch that sold on ebay for a $15K and some change that was in excellent shape. I noted there was no reserve and it was the first auction I saw for such a vehicle without a reserve. Typically, equipment like that would sell for $30K average.

I may have missed it in the thread. What engine does this one have? 5.9 Cummins?

lapeer20m · 09-25-2009, 03:03 PM

yes, 5.9 cummins and the bus has under 70K miles on it.

lapeer20m · 10-01-2009, 07:00 PM

just started the new "no reserve" auction.

this bad economy sucks! it used to be much easier to sell jacuzzi buses.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=320430763101

2 of my other buses sold this time of year.

the_experience03 · 10-01-2009, 07:20 PM

Just to get that first one out of the way I threw down a sympathy bid.

lapeer20m · 10-03-2009, 05:24 PM

i appreciate the gesture, but please don't bid if you are not interested in the bus.

looks like no reserve auction is the way to go so far! only been a couple days and it's already over $2K and it has 33 watchers. Thats all without spending extra money (40 dollars or so) on fancy adversiting stuff on ebay which i normally do with a bus auction.
