Devon, yea do it. just dont trick yourself into thinking you are
getting a deal. I buy construction equip at RitchieBros auctions and
marvle at the expression on bidders who gleem proudly that they just
made high bid. When I win I always realize that I was the only one
in the stadium who would pay that amount of money for that piece. Its
not embarrasment that I feel, its cognitive disonance. Also fear of
what Tim and Code enforcement will say when its delivered. When I
ask some one for advice on a purchase I alsaws look for afirmation
not opinion, I am sure most do, just buy it as cheep as you can.
