There is plenty of evidence here to suggest that you're not gonna make more money by owning a
Vortex. You're only going to have a larger head which will shrink after to begin to regret it.
!
guess that's half true, Wayne.
Jim bought a "slightly" used V from the one that regretted buying it new and was glad to sell it.
Jim, I've always considered you a straight shooter, and good biz man.
Would you share what year, and model you bought?
I'm really getting nosy now , will you tell us what you paid for it?
If I recall, you've mentioned many things you changed and fixed.
Fresh water tank leaking, maybe?
Changed a bunch of galvanized fitting or something?
Your latest broken PTO shaft.
Shawn, I'm probably done with this thread.
It's become boring and I don't have the time to monkey around with you.
Unless you want to help finish roughing in the plumbing, drains and wiring on my new bathroom and first floor laundry room.
Then help hang and finish drywall, then the laminate flooring.
If not, I'll have to leave you with this;
your analogy is fOS because;
point 1.) you started our with bogus numbers
2.) you haven't included all the other expenses that cost more compared to a standard van.
3.) you used two completely different biz models for your comparison.
How 'bout I get one of Ricky Cimex best peeps and use them to compare numbers with Scooter?
If you insist on TM, maybe Ken Snow will share what his best crew does.
4.) anyone who's been in the biz long enough, already knows if they can utilize a mega TM to their benefit.
Or they simply want one and can afford it.
Those guys are not paying attention to your silly creative accounting marketing.
The only ones that will swallow it hook line and sinker, are the ones that can least afford it.
Like that poor sod that you convinced he needed a V to clean Golden Corrals all night.
He had just enough to know he wasn't getting back into this biz after he crashed.
BTW, is that the guy you persuaded to cash out his 401K?
(or tried too)
in closing, I might look in on this thread from time to time.
But I've made enough points to make my point that your numbers a FOS
so carry on, maybe some dumbazz will swallow it hook line and sinker
