I am "patient zero" on the PTH thread.(check the archives for my
e-mail and "6000" in the subject line) I asked PTH for an apraisal on
my Syncro Westfalia and got an offer of $6000 because it was not
stock. That's it, end of story.

I'm not saying PTH is great and I'm not saying PTH is shady. They just
lowballed me on my van, that is it. A lot of listees jumped on board
and yeah PTH got slammed for lowballling me, but no one on the thread
had ever delt with PTH as far as I know.

The only other thing I CAN say about PTH is that Ken Wilford from
www.vanagain.com recently said he was teaming up with them to start
distributing on the East Coast. Now Ken Wilford is someone I have met,
delt with, know and trust.

Bottom line is I have no opinion on PTH one way or the other, and I am
not aware of anyone on the list that has dealt with them so I doubt
you will get an opinion from anyone who has actually dealt with them..

Ken Wilford is another story. He's great and a pleasure to deal with.
A ton of listees would likely say the same thing. So if you're dealing
with Ken rest easy.
