If you have read the last two messages, you now see the reason why it is unwise to judge particular purchases by others. Who are we to say it is wise or foolish for someone else to pay X amount for anything? I often tell a story to new bike shop employees about a woman who brought in a very inexpensive bike to be repaired. It had many problems and our shop person told her, "That is such a cheapo bike, it isn't worth performing the repairs you are asking us to do..."Ā  She then explained that this bike had been given to her by her husband who had just died tragically. We repaired the bike.So let's just talk less about what something is WORTH, OK?
