  1.  @equallawandorder5393  What’s wrong with you? Do you have to turn everything into politics? You must be a real joy to be around.

  2.  @lonnywilcox445  Buy that wood (or do the salvage) asap. Put the wood into storage (with ventilation; there’s a ton of videos on how to store and/or season wood). No room? Make room. Old wood of this sort is a limited resource and it’s in demand. If it’s old growth redwood, it could be very valuable (i.e. profitable). Do your due diligence, of course, like you would for any investment. But that’s the point. You might have just stumbled across a neat little investment opportunity. There is a market for reclaimed redwood.

  3. If it flies, floats, etc, it’s also cheaper to buy used. I’d still avoid high maintenance models, though. For the guy who mentioned motorcycles, every year thousands of guys who fantasized about having a motorcycle their whole lives buys a bike only to realize the reality doesn’t match their expectations. This is why there’s tons of good deals on used bikes, even ones that are recent models. And during economic downturns, the motorcycle is the first thing to go. The dentist that lost money on the stock market or the worker who has his OT cut both face belt tightening. The easiest luxury toy to liquidate is that bike they bought new but hardly used. There’s also seasonal variations in those parts of the country that have “real winters”. Spring, Summer, and Fall are the riding seasons. The beginning of winter is (on average) the best time to buy a bike. If I wanted to rent a motorcycle (say for the summer), I’d buy one used and then sell it when I was done. The “rental cost” is the difference between the buy price and the sell price. You might even break even. You might even make a profit. If the bike is already used, the depreciation should already be built in to the price. I suspect the above rules of thumb hold true for RVs. People buy them new, are disappointed, and then are willing to unload them at the end of summer, even if they haven’t had any problems.
