It's all in what makes us feel good. I didn't pay that much for mine, but that was because it was essentially their first production model and I had the cost of it imbedded within the entire sale of the tractor and other attachments.
Nevertheless, I also enjoy finding "gems" that require some help to bring them back to life. As I get older though, I find my time is more valuable to me. I think when I retire the second time my time maybe less expensive to me. Who knows. I'm not the only one with demands on my time. Hee hee, that CEO of my home has an uncanny ability to never let the old honey doo list shrink.
