Uhmm... I am. And I am doing VERY well at it too while making my chunk
of change without ripping my customers off. I have faith that in the end
Capitalism will take care of the seller in this case. My personal
opinion is that it is just too much money. You can buy a main battle
tank for the same amount, and how much more did it cost to make those?
My basic point is one about Capitalism. Capitialism does have the
fundamental principle that you are supposed to work for what you earn.
Otherwise you are talking Socialism, where people earn money based on
some arbitrary reasoning (like belonging to the right political party).
What has this guy done to deserve an extra $30k? If you run your own
business, do you pay your employees thousands of dollars extra just
because they asked for it or because they earned it?
If someone wants to give this guy a truckload of money for doing little
more than storing it for a few months, fine. However, they should at
least know what they are getting into. As for me, I'll wait for the
pricing to become a little more realistic and the wife to be a little bit
more agreeable to yet another hunk of OD metal <g>.

BTW, I know someone that looked into moving a SUSV from AK to the
midwest. Cost was $7,000. So if someone buys this thing for $40,000
they are looking at about another $5-10,000 just to move it. Great deal...
