thats because you live on the west coast... near SF...in central cali.. where
there are vanagons everywhere you look and people give vanagon parts away for
free :<)  3000 miles east of you here in Vanagon no-mans land in PA vanagons
are alot more scarce.. i can go weeks or months without seeing one on the road
other than mine.   the cost of shipping one of these 2 person middle seats
(4ftx2ftx29" and @100lbs cross country is cost prohibitive..  its too big for
UPS or fedex and would have to go freight.  so basically i am offering these
middle seats for local pickup only, unless folks are wealthy enough to pay at
least $200 or so in freight to ship one of these things..
