find them. The current financer is Green Tree, but they will not
transfer mortgage. Most financers require 5 to 10% down. You must
also make application to the mobile home court.
$35,000 firm.

I don't get it. You can buy new top-end mobile homes in
the mid-$30K range, and have it set up anywhere you want.
For 10 year old rig, I would think high teens to low 20's
would be about right, especially for one that has been
rented rather than owner-occupied. What am I missing?

..that nobody requested an armchair appraisal.

Seems to me the price is negotiable between the seller and the buyer. I
like the fact that people post their items here. I've bought items posted
here. I don't want people to be hesitant to sell their items here (unless
their a commercial concern) because they are afraid of the same kind of
negative feedback others have received. Don't you think it's only fair to
just let it go? If their asking too much, they'll figure it out.

I might be interested in this unit if the price was reasonable.
Since it is twice what I expect, either the price is way off (which
is their choice), or I am missing something. I am simply giving them
a chance to educate me if the latter case is true.

If that bothers anyone, then they should definitely not post their ad to a
usenet *.forsale group. Whether you agree with it or not, it does happen,
especially when the asking price is way off as this item _appears_ to be.
