I'll guess! Er, uh, a dead president?

...and another thing (smile). Loose Definition: For purposes this post I will use the term “senior members” (of the club). This reference has exceptions, of course, and there are those who don’t participate at all (so we just don’t know their position on this topic). Here Goes: Note my...

Now that was trippy Charlie: My comments in post #17124 apparently resulted in you feeling a need to put me in my place – having not attended conventions and engaged in the discussions over the years. Then, you bristled a bit at my implication that Mr. Kahn’s 950 might be a special cleaner or...

Well, Jeff... Tell me, Jeff. What do you think it is worth? I don't even know what a Hoover dual voltage convertable is. But, let me work with you. At this point, I don't have your opinion (which I would probably value - even though I am going to have to give you a good wupping in September.)...

Oblique reference Ian, To use a reference that you will understand (and may leave our opponents in the dust - smile): What I am saying is that you will need to be able to ride the worm.

Price Book Frankly, Moore from the Moors, I agree that your idea is genuinely good. However, this needs to be done very carefully - especially until we know more about the chemistry that binds the sandbaggers. I always assumed they wanted to keep picking up machines for $1.98, building their...

Price Book and Stan Kahn's 950 Charlie, Where do you think price books come from? There is no price book -- yet. But y'all are working hard at growing this club and building the market. It is premature, probably, for a bright young member to start the book because, so far, most of the the...

Morgan - good formula! Morgan, I only have a moment now and will review it more carefully later but your "rule of thumb" formula is also very helpful in the analysis. I think I like it a lot but need to scoot now. Thanks!

Thanks, Charlie.. Actually, I don't think anyone is surprised that you have balls. And your contribution is very helpful - it takes out the top end silliness which should be reserved for speculators. We really have established a reasonable range and anyone, who does not have to move the unit...

Smile ...with all due respect, Charlie, reference to the quirkiness of ebay as an excuse for saying it is impossible to value these units is a cop out. When estimating value, we throw out the anomalous highs and lows - they are not helpful. I was involved in a screwy case this spring where a...

Thank you, Reg, ..perhaps the Dream Team estimate tween $30 and $50 is more like it. It does seem like the first post has turned out to be a tease. Sigh. And we were trying to hard. Now I suppose the senior members will repeat that tired lament that it is impossible to value these things and...

Crap Jeff, Kyle said crap. That makes it okay for you to remove the asterisks from b**ch. BTW, your being a good cook just confirms my instincts that a Dream Team is forming.

Why Victoria? I think I can answer the “why Posh” question, but first do you mind if a pick up just a little more data? And I will open this to the entire Dream Team: Ian, Pete, Jeff, Pat, Posh - can any of you cook?

Brett has a point Recall that in the very first post, Kyle claimed that he had EVERYTHING. We can presume that he told Reggie that. Recall further that my format for valuation responses includes the words "based on his description": "I _____________ think the fair market value of Kyle's...

Another point. Uh, Kyle, any chance we can get a pic of your dad's masseuse? He's been gone a long time.

Note to Dream Team Your numbers are probably low. But y'all are not all that excited about Compacts. I still want you guys (and Posh) in a survival situation (unless it is to value Compacts, then....then I gotta think). But, we have to concede that Reggie knows pigs. I mean, his tag is...

A ha!!! I may have spelled that wrong. Maybe uh ha - that doesn't look right. Aha! Well anyway. Reggie, huh. Excellent. Okay, we have a team consisting of one who peeks out of Aunt Tillie's skirt on one side and one who peeks out on the other. Reggie and Fred have teamed up to place the range...

Okay, it wasn't Fred All right, Fred, it wasn't you. You are saying maybe $500 for Mr. Right, but low probability. That makes the mystery estimator's number interesting. How would you size up the mystery estimator? Recall, Kyle said that "they" said $180+. That means $180 is "their" low number...

Secret Estimator So, how does your mystery estimator explain the fact that the only published statement of the value of the C-4 is between about $30 and $50 - and the club big guns say it is not possible to render an opinion. How does he/she (I belive you said 'they') explain that? Huh? Have...

In the letters of Kyle, OMG! ...it just came to me. All these posts and we missed it. Go back and look at the "cooperation" going on in the posts between Fred N and Kyle. No. It can't be. ...or can it. Kyle, you slick devil you, was it Fred that gave you that $180+ number? It kind of fits in...
