An interesting tangent: Remember the "Urban Legend" about the late model Porsche for sale for less than 10% of what it was worth? The woman selling the car got a phone call from her husband in some Caribbean resort; he told her he was leaving her for his young secretary, and for her to sell the Porsche and send him the money; the jilted wife was so mad she figured to get back at the SOB by selling said Porsche for, say, $3000, thus fulfilling her husband's wishes. Now, the new Porsche owner had a newer Porsche and paid 10% of what it was worth, and a bill of sale stating same. Legal? Should be. Ethical? Does it matter? If any of us were that same individual answering that ad in the paper, would you claim "selling" value or "Blue Book" value? I know this is not really relevant, BUT.................................
