I have been looking on the jets classified section and have counted atleast 9 jets that the asking price is atleast over $12,000.00. I'm just wondering, given the state of the economy, would anyone really pay that type of money for a model plane? I mean even if you were a millionare, I'd question your sanity for paying such an outrageous price for a model. I do feel that most guys on here price their models to a point where someone could afford to buy it. When someone prices a model in the $15,000 to $19,000, are you really wanting to sell it ,or just bragging that have the ability to spend that type of money on a model.
just wondering,

Perry,
Like Joe C said, these "toys" are not cheap, and are usually bought with discretionary funds, much like boats, RVs, and hookers, etc. People spend big dollars on these when purchased new, all the time. However, with that being said, I don't see many people standing in line to buy used jets in the $10,000 to $20,000+ range......even if zero to 10 flights. People always say, "I could buy a new one for that price."
Another problem is some people try and get compensated for their "time" when selling jets. T'aint gonna happen.
There are some good deals to be had in the classifieds, but as far as the BIG dollar items, I just like looking at the travertine marble floors in the pictures.
