They disappeared faster than Frodo with his ring.

You haven't been in the enterprise for far longer than that...

What are you two talking about? He hasn't been in the enterprise ever.
Its pretty obvious he doesn't understand even the basic concepts of
business.
He's the kind of guy who thinks he'll get KBB value for his car when he
goes to trade it in.

It is often very difficult for people inflicted with Asperger's Syndrome
to leave their comfort zone.
As long as he vents on here and not with an old AK-47 at a local shopping
mall its ok.
We're saving lives by feeding the trolls.

Does that mean that if I post a link to a photo of the Mac that's
presently sitting on my desk at work, the poor boy is likely to go
Postal? ;-)

The essentially dum terminal you use to connect to the Windows backbone?

That one?

He'll probably claim the link didn't work because it was wrapped.

I paid $150 over KBB for my A4 5speed wagon.
depends on how common the car you are looking for
and how desperate the buyer is.

If it's rare configuration you can get a bit over kbb as was in my case
(the window of opportunistic import tariffs was closing shut in 3 month
from the time I started shopping)

By the same token I'd guess the prev gen of jeep liberty would hold value pretty well now that the front wheel drive based abominations are rolling
off the chrysler assembly lines. Not that jeeps depreciated fast to begin
with.

Same for the outgoing mac pro. Should hold value well.

It's always fun to watch for the savvy set of people who watch for
regressions no matter what the industry is and snatching the last minute
deals. good QA department material. Apple should get some of those :^)

I could think of zillions of transitions for worse

oneida boston clasic sets -> went from 18/8 to 18/0 steels and butt ugly
knife design. I bet there was an industry watcher snatching the last of the kind :)

Mazda introducing mazda3 and briefly selling protege5 wagon for a year or so.
Someone snatched one or two.

Subaru ditching limited slip LSD on the rear axle, the list goes on an on and on.

Bottom line is, don't buy shit and take care of your belongings ->
you won't be hurt with depreciation that
much when you sell any of them. If you don't buy shit in the first place
you might just as well won't be forced to sell anything, but
the amount of folks who are blessed with both brains AND money is in short supply. And those are that sell the car in excellent condition
for $150 or so over kbb top category (excellent condition that is)
