apparently these trucks are increasing in value

Wow beautiful truck, not worth half the asking price in my opinion. And by the look of the amount of wear on the pedals and drivers armrests, it could have more than 135K miles.

Maybe a year ago, but I doubt that truck would bring in 10K even in the best market. Like you said, it's the basic "non LE" edition.

That truck is equipped just like my '89 and is the same colour. I like the now power non LE trucks because it has less holes drilled inside, like on the A pillar etc. But that said... 16.4 K .. in this market/economy.. From a new seller with 0 feedback... O RLY?
I guarantee that ODO has rolled at least twice, but most likely it has even 300 or 400K miles on it. Just look at the worn out clutch pedal rubber and the fact that the bushings on it are toast as it sits far below the brake pedal height.
I'd give 3500-4500 max on that one today. Oh well they must have paid the original owner a lot for it as his trade in.
Oh - and gooseneck ball = - 1500 instantly.

Nac is about 15 minutes from me if anyone wants me to go look it over for them. 
From the background in the pictures its Mike Perry Motor Company, the local dodge dealer. To be fair they are a pretty good group of folks to deal with. Family owned & operated and down to earth but the mileage is for sure questionable and the price is CRAZY.
However, this brings up a funny story. I pulled into their lot about a year ago to buy a part for my truck - I don't recall what, and a guy came running out thinking I was looking at a new truck. First words out of his mouth was "I'll give you 10K trade on your truck right now....." Of Course I know they can cook the numbers on trades, but he went on about how they could name their price on clean first gens.
I laughed as I walked into parts and told him I'd walk right past a new one to get it mine.
