Mark, I'd agree with your point of view, but as stated earlier, there is over a years wait. As a matter of fact, I got on the list 2 years ago and my name came up when I went to CA to help my dad last November. I asked to be 'set back' 10 spots so I would be home again, better to handle my finances when I was at the top of the list again. My 2 planes and a center section should ship this week, 23 months after I asked to be put on the list.
I believe the point made is there are people on the waiting list that could use one or both of these planes and save months to years waiting for a plane. Yes they are high $ but I've personally never flown any other plane that was better at its chosen task. Sure, better flyers can beat me with quote unquote inferior planes, but the Icon is just that, an ICON in the soaring world. If I had enough to buy one of Jim's new ones I would, but my $ is tied up in the two I ordered. Besides, they have awesome special color schemes I designed. That's the only reason I'm selling my used ones, as there is nothing wrong with them at all. I just get to fly one's with color schemes that I like better than RMC's PowerCats adorned wings. Randy, try the USC Trojans emblem next time! ;-) So, if someone is looking for a used Icon at sub $2K prices, let me know. As always, we appreciate everyone's input in these discussions. gv -----Original Message----- From: Marc Gellart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 1:51 PM To: EXT-McCleave, Howard R; [email protected] Subject: Re: [RCSE] Icons for sale Randy, As we all know, the Icon is a superior ship with great workmanship courtesy of Don Peters, this no one would deny is a good deal. But you might be seeing that the market is getting to the saturation point to a certain degree. Hey, I understand the frustration of posting a good ship and not getting a bite, but just as any market will show where to price an item, this to me says price is too high and either hold on or lower the $'s required to play the game.
