Hi Pam, 
 
I've been watching Airstreams on eBay for the past 2 or 3 years from what I 
have seen there, a 22+ foot 60's airstream with a 'rough' to 'nice' interior 
goes for $1000 to $3000. Depending on how badly people want them at the 
time. We paid $2000 for ours (not on eBay) and I feel it was a fair price. 
Under 22 feet and a similar Airstream can go for up to $6000 or more. A 
smaller Airstream definately has better resale value, but a larger one is 
very roomy (actually the smaller Airstreams are really roomy too - Wally 
Byam was a great designer!) We have plenty of room for a portable crib in 
our 30 footer. Personal preference.
 

We have a '67 '30 Soveriegn Airstream that we've been fixing up. To give you 
an idea here is some of the work we've done on it: We have spent just over 
$1650 to put in tile, replace cushions, replace plumbing system with PVC 
(including replacing faucets, water pump, and water heater), and replaced 
the battery. We also need to purchase a rear access panel, a front window, 
and an awning. And we are missing a few parts to interior lights and have a 
few broken clips to replace.

Good luck, we had a great time working on our trailer, I hope you have the 
same.
