Its a difficult thing to do, sell a machine below what you paid for it. Ive just done it myself with the 51 HARVEY.
I paid far too much for it after putting my faith into someone who sold it to me and in hindsight.. yep.. he saw me coming.
Shit happens.. rack it up and walk on.
What a seller must remember though is that the value of a machine is not always in the figure it sells for.. when I bought HARVEY, money was easy to come by.. those day are gone and we are all a little more frugal with our cash.
If I weigh up how much it hurt my pocket to buy HARVEY in the first place and how much it would hurt now to buy something at half the price.. the pain is the same.
In other words, its all relative.. worth $3K when the world was richer... worth $1200 now we are all skint.
Swings and roundabouts...
