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

I think that what we need is a chalet forum this on is about finding chalets,,

Snag 'em when you see 'em ............ except sometimes all is not what it seems to be. Case in point is this still-functioning (not for long, probably) Texas sales ad for Chalet #0589 for $6850, when it was formerly offered for over twice that by a dealer flipper. Spot the first clue in those two links that looks fishy? Identical photos. At first, I thought the dealer flipper and her husband had come to their senses and re-listed it at a reasonable price, but when I used the seller contact form at the newer ad to ask if this was the dealer flipper, the guy said he was a private seller. Then, I was contacted by a person two days ago on the verge of buying it who knew I track these, and in his email exchange with the guy, the guy said it was owned by his late father and was dicey about saying where it was located or what its serial number was ..... and earlier in the same day, I saw that one of the Facebook Chalet guys (at the page set up by the man who owned it prior to the dealer flipper) had spotted Chalet #0589 and photographed it in Prescott AZ with those copper colored AZ vintage vehicle plates just 6 days ago. Meaning it's been in AZ for some time now.

Stay tuned. The guy who wanted to buy it has turned the situation over to the Texas Attorney General's office, due to the overall slickness of the guy trying to sell it, who was aiming the buyer to an escrow/shipping website with the promise that the deal included free shipping. When a situation looks too good to be true, it likely ain't true. Knowledge is power, networking is priceless.

Yep. (I never turn away alerts about these, though, keep ‘em coming!)

However, this one is complicated. It’s Chalet #0589, built in 8/76, I first saw it in a series of Spokane WA / Idaho Craigslist ads back in 2007. Then it ended up in a Dallas Craigslist ad in 2014, and was bought by one of the guys in our Yahoo Chalet forum who also set up his own Chalets / Casa Grandes Facebook page. He did the lift and engine mods, and it's shown that way in the header photo of his page. He later sold it to the dealer/flipper Dutch Safari company in Austin Texas, which did nothing to it while attempting to flip it for double the price on Craigslist and four times on eBay, their last listing link for it still works.

Where it gets complicated is in the way some guy copied ’n pasted all the info and photos off the Dutch Safari eBay listing at this still-functioning Harlingen TX ad, (with a Houston company contact number who says he doesn't work there), but he cut the price in half back to a reasonable amount, while also offering free shipping for it via a highly suspect-looking ‘sale handling’ website (that just recently vanished). In the midst of one potential buyer corresponding directly with the Harlingen 'seller' while also emailing me to find out if I knew anything about it, one of the Facebook Chalet guys spotted it in Prescott AZ, even though the seller indicated it was still in Texas. Likely a scammer who doesn’t have anything to do with the rig since the slick escrow/shipping website happens to be the same outfit described at this post at a BMW site about scam sellers.

And now it’s seen in Prescott, with AZ plates at over double the price, with just a new giant honkin’ vinyl logo on the passenger side, a different set of wheels (or not, depending on which photos you prefer at the current Craigslist ad) .................. and an Austin area code contact phone number.

Yep, this seller fantasizes about getting a big price, but to his credit, he dropped the "all original" description words that appeared in his first Phoenix Craigslist ad back in early December and backed some distance off the first $28k asking price. His first ebay listing later that month bombed out on bids (I forget how low the price was, forgot to get a screengrab of the listing results, and his second Buy-it-now at $15k got nowhere) This is Chalet #1460, built in Jan '77, I first saw it in pretty much the identical but less shined-up condition back in Cottonwood, AZ Craigslist 2013 ads where the price fizzled from $6000 on down to $3500, then it was a free giveaway with the purchase of 40 acres of land near Winslow. Might be a nice driver, but hardly worth much over $6k if even that, and it needs a ton of restoration to get it back to dealer showroom-new collector values, which I still don't put much $12 to $15k.

Thanks for the heads-up!! Chalet #0914, built in 9/76. Ah, yes, Todd Carpenter, the seller. That's the dramatic fellow I mentioned in this 2015 CK5 post. He doesn't like me much. Meanwhile, from my prior printouts on this one, the Kansas "WheelsForYou" classified in 2008 had an asking price of $3500 in the same basic (but more dusty) condition you see it in now, and then the next time I saw it was in Todd's own pair of 2016 ebay listings of it, where 21 bids for it in the first one only got the price up to $4651, and the second was a supposedly winning 52-bid sale price of $5,000 .... but I guess there was no real winner after all.
