emcee wroteI have not been on this forum for more nearly two months, and since it has been nearly two months since I first offered my opinion, I was somewhat surprised to receive an email telling me about new posts to this thread.
Dusty, I know that you said you were unsubscribing from this thread, but I figure you will likely hear about this from one of your many friends on this forum anyway. I did do as you asked, and yes, you still misunderstood my original comments. Notice, please, that I never said that prices for a used Mark V hit the floor]value[/B] hit the floor; there is quite a big difference between the two. For example, I am merely a middle class person, having worked blue collar jobs all my life. I am not broke, but I am not rich either. Were someone to offer to sell me a used Mark V for the approximate original price, and the difference between the price of such used Mark V and a new Mark 7 was about $300.00, I would definitely NOT buy the Mark V, but buy the Mark 7, instead. I believe that most people would do the same. Now this is merely my opinion, and that's all it is. Those other guys did not like my opinion, that is their problem.
Having an 'opinion' is not a 'problem'.
Thinking an opinion is gospel is a problem.
An opinion based upon mis-information or ignorance is a problem.
An opinion expressed with 'attitude' is a possible problem.
One upon hearing another's opinion then getting bent out of shape is a problem.
Not meaning to imply any of this fits anyone on this forum, but tis food for thought!
BTW I agree almost ALL SS stuff is pricey.
IMHO the PP upgrade options are less so!
The new double tilt upgrade price is really exorbitant!
We need to realize that RLF is a small entity that struggles to stay around. Those struggles are compounded by the extent to which they support pre-existing machines. RLF is the fifth(four') corporate entity producing SS stuff and essentially supports all but the 'original' which differed greatly from current genre.
