Somebody here is tracking Chalets...not sure if this one is accounted for?

Update on this $19 grand Chalet ...
Turns out it wasn't relisted, but the second guy who bought it after the first ebay auction winner backed out also joined our Chalet forum to let us know he got it just like the first guy, and I had to break the bad news to this newest guy - just like I did with the auction winner - about its condition and asked if the engine knock problem had been fixed, which I learned about from the first guy. It had not. My guess is that this latest 'temporary' owner went out to start up the engine for the first time after it had been delivered to him, only to hear the knock. So, not all that long after I emailed him about that, he replied to say he was going to send it back to the ebay lister, and he wanted me to put him in touch with the first guy who got all his money back due to the apparently undisclosed engine knock. Could be they are going to gang up on the ebay seller now.
Drama, drama, drama. You can probably guess why I don't care much for classic vehicle dealers.
I like this drama....I think there may be room for a new show on Velocity Channel..."I've Been Chalet'd" 
The dealer flippers out there who think they can pull stunts on unsuspecting buyers are blissfully unaware of the Chalet Spy Service...."I've Been Chalet'd"
Popcorn time again. 
The $19 grand ebay Chalet #0414 from the first post here is now back on ebay as of tonight.

Wonder if it will last through to the end of its 7 days next Tuesday.....

It does look great!
I think one would be worth 25-30k if the K5 was a frame off resto with a modern driver train and a resto'd camper with modern appliances...
This dealer buy and polish a turd crud is bs...

Sounds about right if you spend about 50 to 60k it would be worth 30 
Spotted #142 on craigslist.

Btw, Chalet #0414's 3rd ebay listing ends tomorrow. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191993932612
Without getting into details, let's just say I got a contact through the address I have at the blazerchalet website from yet one more person, that there is additional drama going on with this third ebay listing.

(many thanks for spotting this particular one!)
Now, that's funny right there. In one of the few instances when I happened to hit my assorted Chalet search links during a time when a Craigslist ad only lasted less than a day, I caught this particular one when it was listed on 10/28 ( http://reno.craigslist.org/cto/5850322754.html ), and I snagged all the photos and the ad text and got a printout of it. The guy was asking $8 grand for it. I emailed the seller through his temporary Craigslist email address to say he'd typo'd the rig's serial number as its build date, when one of the photos showed the serial number tag as being #1426 with a build date of 10/76. Then the ad disappeared the next day.
Today, we have a different contact number and ad text, along with a different set of photos showing it with a gloss coat and the interior trash removed, and a $4 and-a-half grand price hike ..... and my Google link for nationwide Craigslist ads only turns up this same one listed in Seattle: https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/5859687762.html Gotta wonder if some knucklehead actually bought it for something around that prior price, spit-shined it, and now expects to flip it for a big profit.
Doesn't anybody buy these because they want to use one or keep it??? How tight is the space in there? Is it impossible?
Sold mine when money became excruciatingly tight, would have otherwise kept it. Helps if the owner and his significant other don't mind being really cozy at night. Years back there was a blog post written by a daughter who made fun of her father & mother's zeal for camping in one (it was funny, I should try finding an archive version of it), but even there the guy ended up getting a more modern VW Westfalia.
Lately, the problem is with guys who've kept 'em stored unused for years, and then along come dealer / flippers who spit-shine 'em up and sell 'em go people who haven't checked to see if there are others out there. The Chalet #1426 above is now on ebay, the starting price was $7 grand yesterday, but today the seller hiked it up to where it is now today. I might even do well to wager that it'll get zero bids.
I loved mine. Traveled to canada in it...lived in it in the oil patch and i love it. My 76's camper is going to my 90 Jimmy that's fully built so i have one nice rig.
