From what I've seen anyone reselling these trucks get a LOT more than what they sell for from GL. Any will be, because of whats involved- having money tied up with GL during the approval process, taking a chance on the truck's actual condition, the recovery process and cost, then going through the truck and doing required maintenance and repairs. But some resellers really try to get top dollar. Just look at the M35A2s that someone keeps putting on ebay for $12k.
Location also has a lot to do with price. If you live within a couple hundred miles of a lot that sells them frequently, you should be able to get them for a lot less money because the recovery cost is less and there are more nearby.
I'm going to be reselling a few to help get money for one of my own, and to help pay for my wife's schooling (especially since I'm now unemployed). My initial estimate is that my Deuces will be priced between $2k and $4k depending on condition. That is based on the fact that the closest I can find Deuces selling from GL is over 400 miles, and those are known to be junk...so the first 2 I bought were 450 and 1100 miles away. They have also had my money tied up for a month and a half on the first Deuce, and going on 3 weeks for the 2nd. I also plan to go through them and replace all filters & belts, and fluids as necessary (replace if there is ANY question about age or condition). Any trucks I sell will be extensively road tested to make sure no issues pop up. All of this takes time and money, but I feel the price is right for a vehicle that is in known very good running condition.
With that said, I won't discourage anyone from buying right from GL (except for dealing with their stupid EUC process). You'll save the most money, and if you can tinker yourself, why pay someone else to do it?

Well if anyone sees one on the market let me know. I'd really like to pick one up.
