I wouldn't be so quick to condemn Craigslist, Ebay, or the entire internet. They are just tools and can be used for good or evil.

Let's face it, the Airstream community is becoming a victim of its own success in returning the Airstream trailer to a position of modern hipness. The more trailers show up in commercials, movies, and TV shows, the more popular they will become, and the more in demand they will be. I am glad to see that more and more people are interested in saving these old trailers and joining the community. I do hate to see the "trailer flippers," who comb the country harvesting the "good deals," and then turning around and selling them without so much as a repainted tongue, but hey, business is business, right.

airstreams have a reputation for being a quality trailer - and for the most part they are. we paid $42K for a used 2012 FC19 earler this year, it was used twice, the seller took the depreciation hit

For what it's worth, there are still deals to be had. For $2500 I just picked up a 1975 Excella with brand new tires and everything except the toilet & fresh water system functioning. I have it mostly gutted and have not found anything that makes me think it was a bad deal.
