That would be sort of interesting.  You'd definitely want to include date
and place of sale - prices probably change over time, and they certainly
vary by location.

I'll be happy to provide my data:  I purchased Matilda in late 2003 in
Richmond VA.  Offering price was $10,600, I paid $10,000 (after the seller
couldn't get the fridge lit - I'd offered full price with a working
fridge).  Though come to think of it, I don't know whether the seller had
her on the market for more and didn't sell her.  I found her through
westfalia.org, as I recall.

Six years later, it's hard to think of "buying her" - sounds like I'm buying
a slave or something!  Ghastly thought!
