Looks very nice; but, I can't see where $10,000 was invested.

I agree, Tom. Maybe that has to do with the name in the listing, "Jesse James"? Hmmm...

Perhaps he calculated the hours he put into it; (and he pays himself pretty well!)

I believe this trailer is owned by one of our members JesseJames.

If you're interested, you could always contact him through this forum. Here's a couple of postings about the trailer: 1972 Compact Jr., Fully restored

and 1972 Compact Jr. Tacoma Washington, Full restored

In both cases, these postings were in the 'Molded Fiberglass Travel Trailers for Sale or Rent" forum.

Tom,
I completely AGREE with you about pricing and FULL restoration.
Interesting that this is the very same guy (HOW could I ever forget the email name of JesseJames!!!!) that I contacted about 6 months ago in regard to his ad on our forum for a 'trailer wanted to buy'. He sounded so very interested in my Scamp that I was selling but never followed up with me on it...guess he found this old clunker to buy and now wants a way over the top price...when has anyone heard of a 13', without a full bathroom, going for over $6,000?
Please let us all KNOW if this is the going price, as I might just want to put my beloved retro Compact II on the market, as well!

PS I believe in pricing a trailer as close to the going market price...why go over 3,000? It's ludicrous, and you get no credibility as a seller. This is about the oddest ad I've seen.
