I have never sold any on Ebay for the reason you stated, Although I have bought sight unseen on the photo's and have only once been disapointed by a bad description.
Paid £1800 for mine 3 1/2 years ago. It is a '95 Designer. I am confident I could get that now if I were to sell it. Don't be put off by older ones, as long as they are clean with no rust on the steelwork. They last for years. I have seen several 25+ year old ones out in regular use.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
