Popup camper is gone. Last year had no camping because of covid. Plus, my truck blew its motor at the beginning of the year so it couldn't tow anything (still not fixed, UGH!). I'd rather not have the pandemic stuff as it was a huge burden for everyone but if my car went out at any time, then/now was best. So says the eternal pessimist, lol.

Sellers' market. Keep hearing that over and over. I was listening to the "worst-ofs" real estate radio broadcast recently. The horror stories of what buyers do or accept as part of the sale are unbelievable. I was not looking forward to buying a house in the weirdest market in forever.

This product squeeze has affected other items. Cars are ridiculously high right now. Yeah, about that car thing. I'm not thrilled about having to buy one in the next few months. Living in sticksville without a car is doable but not when traveling hundreds of miles to shows and events with a truckload of stuff.

Campers are in BIG demand. The popup pandemic premium is higher compared to houses. A low-ball haggle-free price made it an easy sell in today's market. It is in excellent condition and looks far younger than the old teenager it is.

I honored the order of callers so that he who called first got dibs at whatever price. I've lost out too many times to this unwritten rule so I wasn't gonna be the ass to someone else. Like waiting in line only to have the cashier in the next aisle take the person behind you, who's been waiting less time.

Within 12 hours of posting, 18 people had replied and by the time it was sold the next day we had to return more than 60 "Sorry, it was sold!" emails! The new owner will enjoy a touch of comfort. It will be missed. Not as much as my silver but a close second.
