Easter's Bus Sales has a 4905 entertainer for sale. They've listed it at least two or three times on eBay, and it hasn't sold.

Was thinking it might suit my daughter's family perfectly for the type of use they would put it to. . . (No, they're not gospel singers, just a family of six - Mom, Dad & four little ones)

Anybody nearby who might be able to take a look at it?

I know some folk here have bought their vehicles from Easter's, with mixed results, and I'm OK with that. Was just hoping somebody might take a look at this coach to see if it's ok, before proceeding further. You know, the usual routine: Body straight, little/no smoke from Detrioit, rust issues, etc. Also would really like the VIN to check it's history.

Here's a link:

Thanks!


PS: I have a general idea about what they are asking for the coach $$-wise, based on their eBay listings. That's not the issue right now. I'm wondering if anybody's in the area who could wander onto their lot unannounced to look at it. Sorry if I didn't make that clear initially.

:-)

After 4 or 5 unsuccessful attempts to get a price on a bus, I gave up. The salesmen were always busy or in a meeting or something. The receptionist always had a good excuse.

I couldn't get a price over the internet and
leaving a phone number wasn't successful either.

I finally sent them an email saying that they could keep their secret (prices on their buses) and I would keep my secret (where I bought my bus).

I never liked the "call for price" tag on the things I am looking at either. Just seems like they should know what they want to get for whatever they are selling. I like to browse alot looking for my bus and if something is out of my price range I would rather not waste anybodys time while I am looking around.

I agrere with wanting prices listed. I always feel like if price is not listed, the price may be different, depending on what they think you can afford or which sales person you talk to. Jack.

I reckon Bill has advised you of our aborted trip to Bassett, Va.
I left Monroe, NC, headed to Liberty, NC, to pick up Bill for a little road trip to Easters.
Got almost to Ashboro and found out that Easters was closed on Monday due to the death of the service manager (?). Sorry hear of that.
So, I'm going to verify that they'll be available on Monday...and we'll try again.
Easters has a $#i+load of used buses crammed on their property. I don't see how they get one out when sold. Probably last in first out.
I'm casually interested in a D (that means I want one, but don't want to pay market value for it), and they have as load of those too. Be an interesting trip...one way or another.
Oughta make a two day trip and run over to Sawyers too....

Laryn, if you got some time on the upcoming Monday, we'll meet you up there...
Probably about 12? Let me know.
I believe Dennis (Hi Yo Silver) lives up that way too? Bring him with you!
Cheers, JR
