Of course I have hundreds of hours of my time, so if I was farming out that work, it's going to be well over $50,000. The seller of the 72 is laughing all the way to the bank

Until you go to sell it, then watch your story change.

I have my checkbook ready for everyone that's going to sell me this truck for $24K. I can travel and will arrange for transportation. Strange how when I was a buyer trying to find a truck for 2 (3?) solid years no one was selling 'em at the prices you think are "right".
