    The unthinkable happened

    I laugh when I hear about the money loss , Just in general , Its been my experience that a 6500 dollar become 4500 once you bought it because , if you're like me , you paid too much right out of the gate . Then , If you put it on consignment to sell , you have to give 15% or more to your...
