Not Ranked
The seller, Stuart, really is a nice guy. He was sincerely mistaken about the cars value at $25K. I did not feel right holding his feet to the flames at that price. We all make mistakes. I was #2 in line. I quietly waited to see what TButtrick was going to do. Perhaps TButtrick WAS right for NOT buying? There is, after all, SOME risk involved here. I've never even seen the car!
Big gain often means Big risk. Not the first I've taken, won't be the last. Been burned a few times along the way. I'll accept the risk, and wouldn't want to miss the ride, the thrill of victory, the art of the deal. Time will tell on THIS deal if I'm a winner or a looser! But I'm IN the game and I'm going for it!

I once bought, with some partners, a 30 something foot Ferrari cigarrette boat. A $100K plus deal. Twin Ferrari V-8's, 800 horse power. White leather interior, RED with the yellow prancing horses on the bow. My gawd man, what a ride!!!! Lost our ass on that boat we had HOPED to make a profit on. But I have no regrets! I STILL talk the about time I owned a Ferrari cigarrette boat and the very cool memories that came along with it...........
