Re: [a/s] My Silver Palace



Dear Listies,
I have been off this list for a couple of months now.........have been 
really busy and had no time to spend online. Now I'm back again for a little 
bit because I need your advice. I'm so sad that I have to write this 
message, but what can I do? I have to sell my beautiful silver palace. Some 
of you might remember; I have an Avion La Grande.
My grandparents are nearly 100 years old, and they are nearing the end of 
their lives. They live in Europe and asked me for help and assistance before 
they have to say a final good bye.
I feel that I should help them. They raised me when I was young and I'm very 
much grateful to them for all the many things I received from them. I feel 
that this is the right thing to do. I also feel that if I do the right 
thing, even though I have to give up something I'm attached to now, I will 
get whatever is the best for me in the future. I will use the funds from the 
trailer for travel, and for paying my expenses there so I can be just a help 
and not a burden. I have to leave by the end of September.
So, I just wanted to ask you any tips you might have for placing ads. I 
really need to save as much as I can, so I'm looking for cheap solutions, or 
free postings. But also I do need to sell this trailer, so I'm looking for 
something that works.
The trailer is in excellent and very clean condition and everything works. 
(You probably all know how Avions look, so I won't take up your time with 
details.) I added a solar panel on top too. I also have all the original 
manuals. The only negative thing is the awning. I think the cloth on it has 
to be replaced. I never used it, but I saw some birdies this spring picking 
out fibers from it - they thought it was a great nest-building material.
I'm thinking of asking for somewhere between $4,500-$5,000. Is that a 
reasonable price? Any suggestions?
Thank you all for your continious help!
Sincerely,
Akunthita
