A receiver sale is obviously negotiable and they IMHO stand no chance of getting the asking price.

Whayhay, cheap(!!!), chunky aeroplane up for grabs, let's do it.

Mmm, maybe not. Throwing that kind of cash at a pretty aeroplane without a solid idea of what the group wants to do with it and a solid agreement on how to finance and manage it is peeing in the wind chaps and chapettes

Committing a reasonable chunk of change into a big toy is easily done and easily regretted. It's no good going into a hissy fit if it's not there when you want to take the kids/friends to see it.

Not wishing to sound like an Anderson Droid, but a management structure has to be put in place and given the authority to manage the aeroplane. Obviously rules have to be put in place etc etc but it ain't going to be dreamland or am I just an old cynic
