Where are the buses?

[ThePimentals]

I've been bus shopping since September on eBay, public surplus and govdeals. I haven't found too much luck so far with prices, and in particular the last 2 months have been almost completely dried up. Nothing, I'm looking for some specifics also which makes it harder to find, but since January I have only book marked 4 and they all sold for over 7k$. I hope the sales come alive soon. I'm going to try a live auction in April. Even then they only have listed 2 buses I'm interested in. Ugh.

I bought mine of craigslist. Granted mine is an older bus but I have seen some pretty good deals in my area. I know there are a lot of programs out there that will look for specific ads and alert you?

Hope this helps

Take a train out here, enjoy the ride and pick one up for $3k or so and drive it home. No rust either.

Montana is my dream home. Don't tempt me! I'll never come back here.

You said you're looking for something particular. What are you looking for? It took me 3 years to find the bus I wanted at a reasonable price.

Rear engine 72+ pax. Holding out for an md3060 too. Would take a 643 if it was paired with a dt466. Either a bluebird or Thomas. Probably MVPr. Want a door on the side, and underbelly storage.

Lots of stuff. But I'd be lucky to find anything. I went to a live auction in PA. 150 buses, about 30 people showed up, and about 4 out of 5 buses were bought by a couple of South American guys, they each spent over 80k$. It was useless to go. So I'm still shopping.
