how come these things goin so cheap?..a lot of older rv's if good shape go for more of typical antique money...im not looking to really sell mine for a while but if i fix all this stuff and make nice im certainly not going to let it go for 3,000 bucks

Glad to hear you're sticking to yer guns! According to the original ads, there "is no finer motorhome possible" (or words to that effect) so the prices should be appropriate. I have put so much into mine I'm afraid to add it all up.
