I spent most of the day Monday thinking about the camper. Upon arriving home my wife and I make a descision. We will offer $350 for the camper and would consider going up a little but if she is firm with $500 we will walk on the deal. Our reasoning is 350 gives us a little room to begin immediate repairs, such as tires. We also believe it is a fair price considering the amount of work to be done. It's settled then, we make the offer.

I call Debbie and leave a message on her answering machine. The kind of long winded rambling message of a crazy person. I was wanting to make sure she wasn't insulted by my offer and that it was strictly based on the amount of work to be done. I actually ran out of time and had to call back to make sure I had left my phone number. It's true I am a crazy person.

I received a return call a couple of hours later and the verdict was in. She had talked to her ex and they were willing to sell for $350. She knew it needed work and that they were not going to be doing anything with it. I think she was a little happy that another family would get some enjoyment out of it also.

I set up to return the next Saturday and pick up the camper. In my world now known as The 350 Special! Stay tuned and I'll fill you in on the trip to pick it up.
