EBay.
LOL - you beat me to it - Ebay is, indeed, the elephant graveyard of the caravan world 
Especially for 'American' folding campers, many of them around thirty five years old now.
For some reason I tend to look at the current offerings, and it's almost like seeing old friends - you see them sold, and then you see them reappear (presumably when their latest owners discover the true horror of their purchase)
Then they'll be sold again, and then they'll pop up again, and again, and again.... it's a never ending merry go round.
I've seen them with big holes in body (not to mention rotten canvas, etc) and they still seem to attract a bidder. I've often wondered at what point they do, actually, die and remain dead!
There must be such a time - but I haven't come across it yet
The funniest this year was an ancient Coleman - *absolutely* hideous, body damaged and dented, roof riddled with rot, canvas that was filthy, mildewed, and torn (and that was only what could be seen from the pictures!)
The seller assured his prospective bidders that they always got 'many admiring glances' when on site.
As I told Mrs Eddie, they must have been the same sort of admiring glances that I would receive if I removed my shirt in public..
It sold - but, like Arnie, it will be back.....
