I can get a loan on my jets. Someone or an institution will lend me money for one or all of them. I don't think that's a fair statement at all. He might be saying that because "HE" can't get a traditional loan on one.

But to answer the question, yes, they intend to sell them, he is certainly suggesting that the economy is affecting him. And really, this thread seems to lend itself more to jealously rather than question of value or intent. IMO.
