TT,
You might take it to the Sisters A/S rally the weekend of the 10th of July, I believe it's only about 20 miles from you in Redmond. There will be other A/S'ers there from the Western Oregon and Oregon Units of the WBCCI, and may help to get the word out. We will be attending the rally (we have a 22' CCD). We paid 34K for ours in April '04, including the Equalizer hitch and sway bars. You also might contact George Sutton RV in Eugene to see if they would be willing to buy, as the 22' CCD's are rather hard to come by. Let me know if you would want to come to the rally (they always welcome A/Ser's, even if you are not a member of WBCCI), I'll email you the location and contact person.
Best of luck,
Jim Jordan
I like the idea of owing more than one! One of each would be nice.
I have no need to sell right away as some may think. We purchased the trailer for work and the company. It is a shame to let it sit and not get used for what it was meant for. I unfortunately cannot randomly sell it for 25K. I would love to. It would be one less thing I would have to deal with, but certain people would have my hide. I do have the power to be somewhat flexible in price with in reason. That is why I listed it for 33k. This trailer is brand new in appearance and only two months old. It was only used for a few weeks and out of that time slept in for about half of that period. Do you think if I were buying a trailer like this one from a dealer they would sell it to me for less than 33k? Honestly?
A trailer in Texas for 35k brand new is a great deal. 34k for a new CCD is a great deal anywhere! If you live on either coast and want a brand new trailer and are willing to drive to Texas to get it that is fine, it could be a fun trip. The bottom line is you will end up spending almost as much as if you purchased one from a dealer closer to your hometown. The point I am getting too is it is a matter of logistics and cost. How much time do you have and really how much money do you want to spend?
I am putting up an almost new trailer for sale for 34.5k and am willing to take less. It is located on the west coast where these things seem to go for a premium. I didn’t purchase it here because we could not find one here. Two months ago there where only two CCD 22’ trailers with the interior that we wanted on the west coast, both looked used and the dealers refused to deal. We purchased it over the phone and made a reasonable transaction. Taking a loss on the trailer is acceptable but not to the point of ridiculousness’. The trailer is only worth what someone is willing to spend on it. It is what it is.
I am just putting her up for sale and am willing to take offers, reasonable offers. So if you are looking for this trailer and live on the west coast, you could drive to the mid west to save a few thousand on a brand new trailer, or you could save a few thousand more on a slightly used trailer closer to your home town.
Well put Tanker Tin. I remember reading "wanted 22' CCD" threads on the forum a few months ago. As long as you've got the time, it will sell. It helps that the 2005 model hasn't really changed-just the increased price. How about St. Joseph? You could put a little St. Joseph statue in the trailer. He is the patron saint of carpenters but has long been the "patron saint of realtors". You never know!
Just letting everyone know the trailer is on E-Bay. It just went up this morning. The bid will last until Wednesday. I'll try and get the link so it will be easier for you to find it.

Thanks all.
Would be interested in purchasing your airstream. Do you have pictures of the inside? What is the asking price? Thank you!!
The quickest way and easiest way to sell an Airstream is to take it to an all Airstream campground, WBCCI, such as Top of Geprgia and put it on a site and put your sign on it and leave the keys with the campground host..... My last two Airstreams sold in 3 days and 8 days respectively.
This works because all of the people in the campground are "Streamers".
I like your idea. I would love to take a trip and do just that. I may if it does not sell via E bay. I have several interested parties that are somewhat local and I have to be fare and give everyone a chance at it. After E-bay closes I may have to take a trip on one of the WBCCI outings that would be a lot of fun.

I have the trailer listed on Ebay and you can see pics there if you want or you can send me your e-mail address and I can send you some. The asking price is $33,000.
Just wanted everyone to know that the trailer did not sell on E-bay. There were however more inquiries than I had ever received for any other vehicle that I have ever sold. I am amazed at the E-bay phenomena.
The trailer is still for sale and as some have pointed out the asking price is just too high. I would have to agree. I would have a hard time purchasing a trailer, used and unseen from someone that I didn’t know. Especially for 33k.
My question to all of you folks in the know and looking for a trailer is. What would you pay for this trailer if you were looking to buy? I am asking for reference only. What should I tell the people at the company to expect to get for this trailer? Please give me your opinions on cost and what you would pay for this trailer.
I had four people interested in this trailer last weekend and willing to purchase. They told me to take it off the market it was as good as gone. Well, after telling each one of them that it was going on E-bay per the higher up’s request, none of the buyers bid or have come through with an offer. Very strange, I am beginning to wonder if most of these folks aren’t just dealers trying to influence the market on these trailers?
I would have loved to find a trailer like this one used and close to home so I could save a few bucks. I think most people are hung up on the fact that the paperwork has traded hands and there is a stigma about buying used. Well, haven’t you heard of the old cliché that “everyone drives a used car”? I believe this applies to trailers as well. I am especially concerned for those people buying new Airstreams right know for over $50,000 what could they expect to get for their trailer a few years from now? Maybe they will get lucky and get one like the one on the “Simple Life”. They could sell that one for a million bucks? Ha Ha.
Well, folks let me know what to sell this thing for. I need to tell the boss something. Thanks again for the input.

I'm not a rocket scientist (or an archaeologist for that matter), but my daddy always told me "Son, something is worth what someone else is willing to pay for it."
I'm guessing 33K is a little high.
