Not to mention which, it's totally irrelevant. If I was selling a Ferrari
for $10K, and you came along and told the bidder that you had just bought
one for $100, would that matter?
What would be relevant is how much you would sell your 1200XL or Ferrari
for. If it's not for sale, what you paid for it, or even the fact that
another exists, is meaningless.
