All very true, but let's be honest, if he tips in $40k for the example I gave, I'm pretty sure even at a fire sale he'd be able to get at least $35k back for it. Yes?

So we're really only talking $5k aren't we?
A tank of fuel and a couple of Cuban cigars really.

I'd have thought a small price to pay considering the standard price of admission for these things.
