Soooo you bought this and are trying to flip it on our site? It was listed on Craigslist for $1200 a couple of days ago. I also hate to break this to you but it's called a 16-S/C, not that rare.

Yep. I picked it up and now I am offering it for sale.
I purchased a 1959 Shasta and sold it for $3200 and this one is in larger and in good condition. I did not know that there were RUDE people on here like YOU that try to sabotage good people just trying to pay their bills.
I just decided that I did not want to restore it and figured there may be someone out there on this site trying to find a nice Vintage Shasta in good condition.
I feel any Vintage Shasta is rare especially one that is 51 years old in this good of condition and especially one with a bathroom so I disagree with you! This one is rare to find.
People like you should be banned from this site! Why don't you mind your own business and make nice comments or none at all!

kayakher - I'm sorry you feel that some folks here are rude. Those of us who have been "into" these old wrecks since before they were a fad tend to be a little skeptical of people who "flip" trailers. We also know that when flippers say "you could camp in it this weekend, all it needs is a little dusting, no leaks" etc, that it is usually at least a little disingenuous. We track trailers for sale, especially Shastas. pretty closely, and not much gets by. We want people to get the most for their money, and to be perfectly honest, tripling the price in less than a week can set our teeth on edge. There are folks on the forum who buy and sell trailers (and often do needed repairs), and the ones who stick around are here because they have proven that they are honest and reliable. Sometimes I wonder if they make any money at all with the amount of work that they do, but these folks mix business with labors of love.
I hope you sell your trailer, and that you get what you want for it. We are not trying to sabotage anything, we just want people to go into a sale with eyes wide open. There is SUBSTANTIAL rot in the bathroom walls, that entire corner is affected, and although there may not be water damage around the vent, the rear wall and beneath the kitchen window are pretty stained, and we don't see the front side windows at all.
As far as banning schweet from the site, OMDB!

I made $1.78 on my Aristocrat Lil Loafer... It only took 3 months of weekends to get that one in shape. I think I did dang good for all the camping I did in it.
As for Flippers, sometimes they get stuck and sometimes they lose. But when they go on to a site and tell flat out lies about the condition of the trailer they need to be called out.... At least learn a little bit about what you are selling before you go around making outragous statements about the condition.

Oh and by the way, you paid top dollar for that trailer. You'll be lucky to break even... Just a year ago I would have gotten it for $500...

You are making accusations that I am making "flat out lies" about the trailer! You are the one who is making statements that are not true! Who are you to call me a liar? You should be ashamed of yourself!
I am learning a lot about these old trailers but I am not a liar. I mentioned that there is water damage in the bathroom. Even listed a picture to prove it. So, NO, I am not a liar.
It's 51 years old and yes it needs some work but it IS nice enough to go camping in this weekend with a little cleaning. I am an honest person and I am NOT making outrageous statements about the condition.
I just joined this site and from my first experience you are just a bunch of old farts that accuse people like me of being liars! You do not know me or how nice this trailer is!
You should feel embarrassed to make statements like that!
This is a free country and I can ask as much as I want for the trailer so mind you own business and DO NOT accuse people being dishonest unless you can prove it! Just makes you look like a FOOL!

This IS a free country, and you CAN ask however much you want for it. In our defense, we are far from being "a bunch of old farts." (In fact, I don't think I've farted all day.) And as Mobiltec said on the other thread, "If people don't do their homework then they end up with an expensive can of worms." In other words, caveat emptor - for this or ANY old trailer.

So I got two very angry PM's from this person last night, way to make an entrance to a group of people!
Kayakher-
1) anyone who has been around here for any length of time has seen their fair share of newbies coming to dump a trailer and run. When your first post is a for sale ad, we are all going to skeptical. Next time start with a "Hi my name is...", not " I just pick this up and want to unload it"
2) do some research, figure out what model you have, anybody that's been around Shasta's for awhile would know what they have and just how rare it is!
3) don't come on to a forum calling members names a saying that members with 1k, 2k, 3k post counts should be banned, when you have 7 post.
4) I am not a "Old Fart", in fact despite your maturity level, I'm probably younger than you!
5) I am not Jealous that you paid $500.00 too much, and you are greedy in your thinking that someone will pay close to 4k, when all you did is tow it from Mesa to Phoenix.
6) If I can help one person avoid paying too much for a rotted mess, it's worth it.

This "lady" sent me a nasty PM and ended it with "GFY". Took me a bit to figure out what that meant because I'm not a foul mouthed profiteer looking to screw people out of their money.
She really did pay top dollar for that trailer. I hope she sells it for what it's really worth which is about $1000.00. I wonder how long it will be before we see the next owner in here asking us where to start out on this "very rare" item.

Thank you guys!
Lol and here I thought that meant Good For You, I guess I was wrong. Maybe I'm a 37 year old fart? Vikx is there anything that can be done to keep an eye out for this person under another user name? IP address or something.

I suspect this person won't hang around. Could be wrong. I just LOVE the "GFY" thing. Adds credence to my long held belief (on the other thread), that the more a person or organization has to tout itself as honest, fair and balanced, here for you, etc, the less likely that statement is to be true. Kayakher showed her true colors. It was only a matter of time.

mobiltec schweetcruisers
I came on this site for the first time to sell a good vintage Shasta.
You talk about way to make an entrance to a new person.
You are both bullies! You accuse me of sending a terrible email! What about the two of you! You both accused me of being a liar! You don't even know me but make unfair and rude statements like that!
I quote: But when they go on to a site and tell flat out lies about the condition of the trailer they need to be called out.... At least learn a little bit about what you are selling before you go around making outragous statements about the condition.
You're not foul mouthed profiteers looking to screw people out of their money. NO you are judgmental fools who judge people and makes rude and untrue statements!
And, schweetcruisers, you are making an idiot out of yourself making statements that the Shasta I am selling is a "rotted mess".
I explained that it had water damage in the bathroom and sent a picture showing it. Why would you make such a false statement like that when you do not even know what condition it is in?
You both should grow up and treat people with kindness not rudeness! Shame on you!
Anyone else who reads your rude posts can see what kind of mean men you are who treat people with disrespect when you do not even know them.
What next? You want to come and bomb my house because that is what kind of mentality you have. Mean and rude!
Leave me alone or I will report you to the authorities for harassment!

You know I NEVER once called you a liar, I also have saved your PM's and the site has proof I did not send you a PM or responded to ones you sent me! So go ahead a report me for "harassment" but remember people who live in glass houses don't throw stones! The fact that you PM'd everyone that responded to the thread is enough proof you harassed us!
The fact is you're right, I don't know for sure that there is rot but than again neither do you. You've only owned the trailer for 3 days and you don't realize that 99.9% of time when there is visible water damage there will be rotted framing behind it. That makes you a dangerous seller, because you don't know or care to learn.
I assure you Mobiltec has forgotten more knowledge about vintage trailers than I'll ever know and I know more about vintage trailers than you'll ever know!
BTW you can leave this site if you HATE us so much, you won't be missed!
Have a nice day!

Well then! I still like all of you "idiots" who are "mean and rude". And Hamlet I love the diplomacy you showed. It was very becoming. By the way Hamlet will you be at the XXX this year? I seem to remember some peanut butter cookies you made last year.

Mobiltec and Schweetcruisers (and Hamlet and others), I would like to reiterate again how thankful I am for all the help and advice you all are willing to share here. I find this to be a friendly place; I love that I can get advice on my project from people who have been there, done that.
Thanks.

Btw, I'll be honest and flippers drive me nuts. It's not wrong or illegal or anything of the sort, I just don't like it.

As far as rare, I'm not sure what constitutes as "rare" but I know where there are several vintage Shasta's that need to be gutted and restored. A Shasta that doesn't need to be gutted, those are a bit harder to find.

Did you just tell me to go find myself?!? A very nice old Indian friend of mine once told me that in order to go find myself, I must first go lose myself. I told him I have been lost my entire life and wasn't really all that interested in finding myself....

We would LOVE to be at XXX this year, however, we are in the middle of a move from Vancouver to Steilacoom, and at this point, I just can't see us pulling it off. We'll just have to wait for next year, and in the meantime, I'm working on developing a recipe for the gluten intolerant, pre-diabetic chocoholic. It should be field tested by next year!
