After reading the article, isn't it strange that RB is selling slips at
1/2
price on Craigslist when doctors and lawyers are paying through the nose
for
them?

His asking prices were much, much lower than those quoted in the article -
at the same marina!

Not at all surprising. The Times should be read for entertainment, not for
information. Its reporters have an uncanny ability to write the story they
imagine rather than reality. Most probably their reporter didn't talk to
anyone other than the marina and condo operators for the article.

Twenty years ago a slip "went" for $40,000. Today, RB is selling them for
$14,000 (bigger slip, same marina).

So using the time value of money, the slip really sold for $1700 back then?

Obviously someone is lying.

Are you saying RB is more credible than the NYT?

Yeah, that's the ticket!
