I think I have the situation figured out with this van.  He has dumped
sooooo much $$$$ into it that his "other half" has had enough.  The
ultimatum of sell the van or lose me was given.  By asking a really high
price he is making an "honest attempt" at resolving the situation, but will
not loose all the $$$$$ that he had invested if it does sell.  The van will
not sell, the "other half" sees the "honest attempt" and the owner maintains
his relationship with his true love and the "other half".
