I totally agree. The Jerky boys are full of envy, Jealousy and they want to taunt the seller with guilt trips to hopefully bring the price down. I wonder how many phone calls and e-mails GOWESTY gets? They have there vans priced very high. But for a reason. They have been completely gone through and they sell them at those prices so why stop. There are people out there with a Sh!t ton of money and have no problem spending that kind of cash on them. Have you ever sold a Van on the Samba with "Make offer" as the asking price? Try it some time it will give you a good laugh :-) I bought an 85 westy for for $3600.00 and let me tell you it was trashed. I spent 6 months cleaning and doing all the mechanical work needed. I think I had around 7 or 8 grand into it but it was worth and sold for $14000.00 in one day........ Maybe I got lucky, who knows. Life is full of interesting people I dont agree with them all thats for sure. But love and tolerance is my
 code. I just sit back and smile........

Some do a lot for the VW community and I can understand how they would
take it personally.
I think the Jerky Boys are the ones who wish they had one but can't
afford one, so they vent on the sellers.
I wonder if there is something that could be created to track the
asking vs selling prices. A spreadsheet, a page on a website, or some
such thing. I also wonder if there would be any harm in doing such a
thing.......
