Correct me If I'm reading that Euros money figure wrong - is the seller not actually asking the equivalent of over $60,000 for it? Guys might remember seeing it in its early May United States ebay estate sale listing in Staunton, Virginia where it sold for over $10 grand, but it was at least listed there as being in non-original condition. Long story to it, the complete factory original rig was a rusted wreck which sold in a 2006 Lake Geneva WI ebay auction for $102, then the camper and Blazer were sold separately later, and then the camper unit popped up again rather nicely restored in late 2012 where the owner of this new rig combination won it for $1400 (about $700 more than nice camper units go for). Then he gutted, repainted, and re-outfitted it and plopped it on what the Virginia estate sale seller said was the really nice complete low mileage Blazer he'd sold him years earlier, saying the guy literally threw away the tailgate and rear seat.

Meanwhile, this new German ebay seller claims the rig is "all original."

He says it was appraised at 52k euros.
A unique specimen in a foreign country can fetch a good coin.
And he didn't say original, he says great condition in English but in German it says original meaning unique.
It's at $6k with 13 bids now

Thanks, I try to not trust Google Translate very much. Plus, the "appraisal" part without the dot or commas also looked more like a zip code, ("Selfkant" being the district in Germany), as contrasted with ebay's bid money figure format. Btw, the seller's ebay listing last week ended at 9500 Euros, or $10,666.
