A crazy story of our time of low supply...
Quote:
Your post is an important post! I'll tell you a funny story... A few years ago, I bought a car from my friend... It was kind of old (1993), but it ran... When I bought it, the car was about 20 years old... It was a second car (my wife has a little bit fancier Prius)... My friend was moving interstate for work at short notice, and he wanted to get rid of his car quickly... He wanted $500 for it, so I paid him... Well after about 7 years, that car stopped running. I ain't no mechanic, but I was told that there was something wrong with the starter motor. To fix it would cost more than the $500 I paid for the car! Well... I just sat on it... then, a couple of months ago, someone came to our door. He was offering $100 to buy the old car which didn't work any more (to sell for parts)... My wife - who is an amazing bargainer (I've seen nothing like it) - managed to bargain him up to $200... I couldn't believe it! I bought the car (working) for $500... then, many years later, sold it (not working) for $200... But that's because we're in a crazy time of low supply... The value of the old, non-working car, had gone up... Best wishes, Dien
