Hmmm, so plenty of looks, but not much interest.
Is anyone interested but put off by the kit, or the price?
I'd appreciate any feedback.
Cheers

Got one already!
Hi Bill,
I've got one already and the wife won't let me have two  I got mine for £7k, which was probably a little overpriced for my vehicle ( www.jollyfollies.com), but you have done 50k less miles. I'm no expert (and I think that will be the target market for an already equipped vehicle) but it would have scared me off. £7k was my upper limit.
I might be interested in some of your kit/spares if your splitting up and they're going cheap. Let me know
Good luck anyhow

 Thanks for that, we travelled with Rich and Camilla for a while on our trip so I know your landy quite well. I've based our asking price on theirs, as you say our truck is 3 years and 50k younger and also has considerably more kit.
We've been fairly lazy in trying to sell her (mostly because I have an irrational desire to keep her  ) but we're going to try a bit harder now. If I plan to sell off the kit though, I'll let you know.
Cheers

Ah Yes
Hi Bill,
All overland equipped landys seem to go for the asking price on eBay, but obviously its a bit of a risk. I think its just a case of someone coming along with the cash at the time. I know there is another for sale on this board with James and thats under £6k, but again its all about the individual machines so hard to compare.
Anyhow give us a shout if you do have anything for sale, and good luck.

I'll see how we get on with trying a bit harder.
Re the bit you edited: AFAIK there was nothing wrong with the landy, and I'd be surprised if they'd deliberately mislead you.
