No kidding, considering I paid $1,800 more for 2006 (that's the Model 1007 floorplan) earlier this summer.
I'm just about to buy it, drive out and pick it up and relist it!

Wait till he gets a 1099 for the MSRP of the trailer. If he's in the 27% bracket the tax will be almost the $2700 he's asking...LOL
As a side note over half the prizes awarded on game shows are not accepted by the winners when they find out the amount of taxes they own if they accept the prizes.

yep, my friend "won" a race car simulator session delivered to his home. he was all excited about it, then I pointed out how much it would be costing him for his "free" session and he declined.
but do they show full MSRP on 1099? or price you sell it for which is it's true value?

Full MSRP. That's the price that you get on the 1099. The price is the "value" between the giver and the receiver. What the receiver sells it for is a non issue.
We tried several times in audits and tax court to argue that the "cost basis" should be what we could buy the item for on the retail market. Never won.
Where we did win was if the receiver got "the cash equivalent" which was usually the wholesale price and the 1099 had the full MSRP. We argued successfully that the "prize" was the monetary value; which is what the receiver actually got, not the actual prize value.

On edit using the Jayco price estimator, with air conditioning the price would be about $9500 without the second propane cylinder an a couple of other small options mentioned.

It is a scam. The ad was also placed in other parts of the country.
I e-mailed the poster asking to make arrangements to come and purchase the PUP but they never responded. I flagged the ad.

Up-Date............
I did hear back from the "seller" and here is his response:
Thank you for your email. I still have it for sale but before i answer to any of your questions i want to inform you that i can't handle this tranasction the old fashioned way because i travel a lot with business and can't do this by my self. However, i will use Craig's Trader to handle th transaction for me. I know alot of people that don`t know about Craigs Trader so if you are still interested and don`t know about this service let me know and i`ll fill you in with the rest of the details.
Thank you
Marvin
Typical scam where the seller is un-available to personally meet with the buyer.
BTW, I also looked into another PUP located in Fresno and I recieved the exact same response, word-for-word.
The first clue was that the trailer was even still available at this great price, days after the ad was placed.

Like the title says, "If this is legit..." obviously it's not. At least they are using proper English. And the 'won it in a raffle' thing is new.
