Has this unnamed joker ever bought a new car, and checked its value the next day?
Apparently you don't have the mad bargaining skills of a NYT reporter. They actually sell used cars for more than they paid for them. Old property is worth more than new property, you see, and they always turn a handy profit. That kind of moneymaking genius is why the Times is raking in revenue hand over fist.
*eye roll*
Apparently, they've also never tried to sell anything, either. If you put an ad in the paper to sell your car, and someone buys your car because there was a "For Sale" sign in the window, how is it disingenuous to mention later that you put an ad in the paper to sell your car?
"Oh, so you put an ad in the paper, but someone bought the car because they saw a sign in your window? As if such a thing were possible?! When will the lies stop...?", sneered the news reporter.
OR spent some time reading Trade-A-Plane. ( the sales bible for aeronuts )
A plane like that with that many cycles and that many hours on the Hobbs meter was not sold ‘at a loss.’
Gee, once again a NYT writer elevates opinion over substance and insight,. I am so not surprised.
