SSW: sorry, but you did what your reason told you to do.

"You'll know it when you see it. It will talk to you . . . "

 

[SaltySeaWitch]

Thanks. I am a bit disappointed but not as badly as I would be wasting hard earned money on the wrong one and spending more in the long run. Back to the drawing board.....sigh.

Hey , it's out there somewhere waiting for you.
You did get some more good info to help you know more when looking .....plus some planning done too !
I wouldn't want one without the invisible magic sheep either , how would you keep the little guy entertained otherwise???

I think once you install the fairy lights the fairies will just move in.It's true , I tell ya!

I saw this but it's 4 hours away and I am only off all day on Sunday which he refuses to sell it on. He is also unwilling to even talk about possibly coming down on price soooooo....will see if he comes down any next week.

So I've heard but never confirmed it.......house elves like that "Moose Munch" stuff so keep a bag of it around. Darn tasty stuff.

You have time to find the right one. Good for you for not settling.

How do you think I feel? Konaexpress had already helped me decorate it and everything. He is going to have to start all over now. I don't even know how to break it to him. I think I will have the sheep tell him lol

Yes, and prices are higher now because of income tax returns. They should drop soon.

Everyone should have an invisible magic sheep. They are so fun to have around.

I agree about the faerie folk.

Wait till the kid finds out about the troll that lives in the engine compartment and the electric eel that lives in the battery box. He'll want to stay out of those things.

Too bad.  I found a picture of Further for you.

That is why you need the magic, invisible, blue sheep John! He takes care of those

It's decorative!!

so this other white and blue bus is four hours away, it does not say if it has a fridge and stove we have to assume it does, do you know if it has a shower, hot water, heater and water tanks, grey, black, and fresh? this stuff can cost a lot to buy and install. the 350 is definatly a good engine plenty of them around. the other thing is that lift can be removed and sold, or the mechanism used to lower a bed or something else. if you paid 2500 or 2900 in a years time that 400 would not matter, it is already painted white, if it is a nice paintjob that could be worth at least a grand, so all you have to do is paint the blue, teel paint the wheels black and some chrome rings, paint up the interior, gypsy it up and that thing could look pretty nice, and I am sure the sheep and the fairies would move into it.

 

[johnny b]

I thought my sheep was invisible....   :blush:



SSW--it appears that you passed the 'never buy a bus in the rain' test. being able to 'walk away' means the right bus WILL come your way.

Steady on.

Is 'Further' a good example of 100% Stealth ?

It is if you're parked outside of a 'Dead & Co.' show on the upcoming tour!

I called this guy a week or so ago. It has nothing inside but a bed and some cabinets. No fridge or anything at all. I did think about selling the lift. I will see if he drops price this weekend.

 I don't have $2900 right now plus the cost of getting there so just have to see what happens with it. If I had $2900 I would have gone there yesterday and tried for $2500 with cash in hand. I may have it by this weekend though. Hard to say. I work mostly on commission so I never know what I will make week to week. I have been paying off bills like crazy and just now been able to start saving for a bus.

My brother lives near Paris, TN and if he makes it home this week I can have him check it out for me but he is Oklahoma right now working so not sure when he will be home. Today is Sunday and this guy is adamant about no Sunday anything. I really want to tell him Jesus said if your ox is in a ditch on the Sabbath to pull it out and my ox is in a ditch! LOL

Hahahahahahahaha!! Aiden says you need invisible eyes to see the magic ones LOL

Or the dark! I was really excited because it was so close to home but not excited enough to buy a money pit. I have a money pit for a house but at least it was free! And even free I wish I had not taken it because it needs so much.
