Yup the market is not bearing a great price for first gens ( or anything else prolly) right now. My daily ebay search for first gens shows a bunch listed with prices from 3 months ago that are bidless. The owners are still trying for the prices and you can see the buyers are not making an attempt.It happens, as long as you are not desparate to sell they can be just like stocks. Hold on in the low spots and the highs will return.

Ouch. I gave $6K this April for my 1992 only had 106K miles on it (now has 141K) and it is completely rust free... except for two spots I found recently. One on the door and one on the panel just under the door.

It weird becuase up here the prices of first gens used to be ridciulous, two years we sold a 93 w350 5 speed donor truck for 3000 and when i say donor i mean RUSTY DONOR, it was gone way past fixable. Sold our 91 d250 727 truck with bad cab a month ago for 3000 to a guy in arizona.
i guess it depends on who comes along and how bad they want the truck, first gens used to be crazy money when people were catchin on to the hole 20mpg big truck thing but now there goin cheap up here on craigslist and stuff.

I agree with all of the above guys. Prices will go back up.
Up here, in the southern most part of the Great White North, the prices of ALL used trucks are way low. New ones too (I hear). I guess they call it a buyers market.
I paid $5,000 for mine 2 years ago. I thought I stole it. Similar trucks are now advertised for 2 to 3,000. Luckily I sold my '98 at the same time.
I wouldn't sell now unless I absolutely had to.

Yes, I agree but then there is the other point of view. You can buy a big high dollar first gen Dodge if you have enough cash laying around however things may be different if you have to get a loan. How are you going to justify paying more for an 80's or 90's truck than what they may have just recently loaned for an early 2000's model Dodge diesel pick up?
