I've spent the past two days looking at used Mac26Xs. I've seen about
half a dozen that were advertised for sale by owner. I was hoping to get a real bargain but that seems to be too much to hope for. Why? Well, it's because everybody luvs their Macs. Two of the sellers said they'd rather just keep their Macs than sell them for a low-ball price. One other guy says he buys a couple a year, cleans them up and fits them out and sells them for thousands more than he paid for them. He says he never has to sit on them for more than a month at most and most sell the first week he puts them on the market. I've seen several really choice ones but they wanted more for them than I paid for mine new. That should tell you Mac bashers something. Macs are holding their resale value so it means they keep staying very popular. I bet your heavy keel boat can't make that statement. Compared to a Mac26X they are a bad investiment. -- Cheerio, Ed Gordon http://www.egordon873.homestead.com/drug.html |
