Selling LD and navigating txt files
Yahoo Message Number: 143069
Back in 2003 and 2004 I was a regular poster to this forum.  Nice to see some familiar names around here!  Anyway, we bought a new 2004 twin/king 23.5 foot LD. Now, nine or so years later we are looking at selling it as we plan to "upsize."   I remember from this forum that there was a way to estimate an asking price as the book value was not necessarily accurate.  I did find such a txt file for 2013, clicked to open the file but the data is incomprehensible to me.  The formatting doesn't work and I cannot figure it out at all.

Could I be doing something wrong?  How do I decipher  the asking price estimator.

"How do I decipher  the asking price estimator."

Martha, the best advice I can give you is to open it in a word processor such as Apple's TextEdit or Microsoft's WordPad, and then play with the tabs until you get six columns: Model Year, Age, % of 2013 New, 24', 27', and 30'. At that point the columns of numbers should line up and make sense. For a 2004 24-footer, the average asking (not selling) price looks to be around $35K.

Andy,
 Would it help if I added a CSV (Comma Delimited) file of the 2013 estimated  asking prices to the files on the website?  This would make it easier to  enter into Excel.

 Couldn't hurt, as long as people know what to do with a CSV file. Go ahead!

@marthamarkusen. I am looking for a preowned Lazy Daze. Let me know some details of the rig and will appreciate if you can put up some picture. Thanks.

For those who might interested I will try to get a listing up and some pictures in a week or two.  I don't even recall the mileage and we aren't home right now.  It does have four brand new tires on the rear and year old tires on the front.  It has the gray tone exterior colors and the inside is beige tones. The mirror on the bathroom door is cracked and I am going to try to get it replaced if I can get around to it.
