Opinions on Stealth Conversion Van Valuation
Hello, It's nice to meet you all here. I've been reading all kinds of threads but didn't really find anything that determines self made conversion vans and their valuating them to determine market val...

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I know the 100k mileage marker is a scary mileage point.
Although there's 80k to 120k mileage before any true worries need to arise.
My dad had a 2004 Express 3500 and has gone up to 280k miles before selling it for $3500 (just last year).
I posted my van on RVtrader and AutoTrader last night.
I will try the other major cities for Craigslist as well (thanks for that).
I might try eBay as it'd seem a good place to generate leads.
I suppose my target buyer would be a person in their 20's ~ 30's who want to live out of this and save on rent for their bigger picture. Someone who'd appreciate the security system, remote start and the awesome stereo that I put in. Not to mention a comfy bed, cabinets to store stuff and a kitchen area!
I know my post may have ventured off and seems like an ad, aside from apologizing in advance for stepping into a possible grey area (above, my first post)...I am genuinely just trying to find opinions on valuation and where to go about.
THIS MAY also help other DIY van builders that are looking to sell their rigs, an idea of what theirs is actually worth and where to go.
Thanks again for everything, everyone.
You're helping me come one step closer to my project. To have enough money to go to china, design a product, source parts, sit with engineers and proto-type it.
Once I have proto-type, I can find investors 10x easier! Then we all become millionaires :-p
