That would be sort of interesting. You'd definitely want to include date and place of sale - prices probably change over time, and they certainly vary by location.

I'll be happy to provide my data: I purchased Matilda in late 2003 in Richmond VA. Offering price was $10,600, I paid $10,000 (after the seller couldn't get the fridge lit - I'd offered full price with a working fridge). Though come to think of it, I don't know whether the seller had her on the market for more and didn't sell her. I found her through westfalia.org, as I recall.

Six years later, it's hard to think of "buying her" - sounds like I'm buying a slave or something! Ghastly thought!
