Time constraints no longer permit me to assemble the weekly "LD for Sale" reports. Listed below are the sites and search techniques that have proven useful in my preparation of these reports.

Good luck in your search for the perfect used LD!

--oryoki


There are many online resources to help buyers and sellers of Lazy Daze RVs.  The first, and best, resource is the list of "All LDs for Sale" in the Files section of the "LifewithaLazyDazeRV" group on Yahoo.

Point your web browser to http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/lifewithalazydazerv/ Log in using your Yahoo username and password, and click on the "Files" link on the left.

There are hundreds of commercial web sites that sell RVs.  The largest, and best for LD searchers, is RV Trader Online
www.rvtraderonline.com

A search tip:  Enter your search term "Lazy Daze" in the "Keyword" field when possible.  This will frequently find more coaches for sale than if you search using other fields. Searching in this way at RV Trader Online usually finds 15 or more LDs for sale.

A second site that is always productive is The Recycler, a Los Angeles-based weekly publication.
www.recycler.com The Recycler primarily lists less expensive LDs from the 1980's, and usually includes three to five LD coaches.

A big advantage of RV Trader Online and the Recycler is that each coach for sale shows the date when it was listed.

The next five web sites sometimes produce new LD-for- sale ads.  They are worth checking regularly.
RV Photo Classifieds   www.rvphotoclassifieds.com RV Online    www.rvonline.com Motorhome Hunter   www.rvhunter.com RV Trader    www.rvtrader.com RV Search    www.rvsearch.com

Motorhome Hunter shows the date the ad was posted.  The others do not.  So at first you will waste time inquring about coaches that were sold months ago.  Once you become familiar with the listings, you will notice when a new coach appears.

The final nine web sites produce LD-for-sale ads only occasionally.  You may not see a new LD ad here for weeks.
Calling All Cars   www.cacars.com Escapees Forum    escapees.infopop.cc Motorhomes On Sale   motorhomesonsale.com RV Coach    www.rv-coach.com RV Registry   www.rvregistry.com RV Sellers Online   www.rvsellersonline.com RV Classified   www. RVClassified.com RV Net Lynx   www.rvnetlinx.com Wheel By Net   www.wheelbynet.com

There are dozens of additional web sites that list used RVs for sale, but none has proven as useful as those listed above.

Auctions at eBay Motors infrequently include Lazy Daze RVs.
Buying an RV sight unseen is a risky proposition.  Be sure to require an inspection by an RV professional before you complete the transaction. motors.ebay.com

The classified ad sections of many newspapers are online now, and a search can be productive.  The Lazy Daze factory is in southern California, and most LDs were sold to people living there.  So concentrate your search efforts in the West.

Southern California newspapers Los Angeles   www.latimes.com Orange Co    classified.ocregister.com San Diego   classifieds.signonsandiego.com Riverside    www.pe.com Bakersfield    www.bakersfield.com Palm Springs   www.desertsunclassifieds.com

Northern California newspapers Sacramento   www.sacbee.com San Francisco   www.sfgate.com San Jose    classifieds.mercurynews.com

Newspapers serving other western states Phoenix   www.azcentral.com Tucson   classified.tucson.com Eugene   register.abracat.com Portland    www.oregonlive.com Las Vegas   www.lasvegasnewspapers.com Denver    postnewsclassified.abracat.com Seattle    classifieds.nwsource.com

Take advantage of your web browser's ability to save links to these web sites in your Bookmarks file.  Once you have assembled a list of bookmarks, you can search all the sources listed above in less than an hour.

Be patient in your search for a used LD. It may take many weeks of searching to find an LD coach configured the way you want.

Thank you for all the time and dedication you have given to this effort.  Even those of us who weren't in the market found it interesting and often entrertaining.

Thanks again for the time and effort you have put into these "for sale" posts. You listed one in our area that we never saw adverised anywhere else in papers or on the 'net and thus we became the third owner of our '97 MB. Without your postings, we'd probably still be wannabe's! Mary Tribbett

--- Oryoki, I'm sorry to hear that your weekly compilations won't be available for LD-seekers any longer; you're apparently working too hard at your *other* job! Thank you (and kudos to you!) for the gift of all of your time, energy, and diligence spent in putting the lists together every week; I know your lists have brought many an LD and "wannabe" together.

Thanks for all your efforts and links!  I had some of them but your list provides a great resource.  I bookmarked your post.

Thank You, thank you....the service you have been offering to this community has been invaluable.  We are among the many beneficiaries of your effort.  The folks from whom we bought our new-to-us 30'IB were not even aware that they were on your list.  It is doubtful that we would have found her without your help.

To this list i would add craigslist.org car/truck category (many geographical areas) as I just sold my friends LD through it.  Sad to see it go but to a good home.
