So this one ended in no sale at $27665 with 6 bids. So one wonders, where is the Market on the 38'?

Several years ago before websites were really prolific, Newell used to mail out pictures (actual photographs) of used coaches that were for sale. Around that time, they included in their newsletter the number of 45' coaches that their customers were ordering. This was done to show that the majority of the new orders were 45'. It amounted to about 90% of new coaches with the other 10% being 40'+. This produced more 45' coaches that were available for sale in the used market.

The logic is: if you had to cut 5' out of a 45' where would you cut it? The answer was: no one wanted to cut anything out so the 45' became the norm.

IMO the above reasons tell us that 45' are in greater demand than shorter coaches and therefore carry a slight premium in price.

This is just my opinion; everyone else is free to disagree.
