88 Westy no AC , interior in fair condition,  stick shift, and wanting
to sell it in the middle of the winter?

Tough call.

Start high--you can only say no to ridiculas offer's.

$8500.00 sounds like a good number for generating some interest right
now.

I'd fluff and buff the Van.
Detail for resale and wait till sping to unload it.

Sell boats Camper's in the spring and summer, sell snowmoble's in the
fall and  winter.

Good time schedule for selling toys.
