After months on craigslist, and offers to anyone on this list, I recently
sold my own clean running '84 GL for $500 on eBay.  The guy came down from
VT to drive it home, he was very pleased.  I wasn't so happy, though.
After eBay fees I got $450.  Not so good for a very nice, original van.
  It wasn't a syncro, or a Westy, or '86 to '91 either.  As others have
said, you can ask whatever you want, or think it's 'worth', but in the end,
it's only worth what you can actually sell it for right now.
  Hope your luck's better than mine.

Mike B.
