Hmm - thats not cheap - works out at around 3,278 GBP each or 255,000 GBP
for the lot, then add on the cost of carting them home plus customs tax
etc... must be another 500 GBP each to the UK from Belgium - possibly more
to the USA? From the photo they all appeared to be sound but missing a few
bits - like screens, possibly canvas etc - who knows without inspection.

So in the UK the realistic profit per vehicle would be a maximum of 500
GBP - unless the buyer could afford to sit on them for a while.

Ok 500 x 78 is a mere 39,000 GBP - after tax etc doesnt leave a hell of a
lot of profit - Whilst they'd be nice to have out back, 255,000 GBP in a
high interest account would bring a fair amount of return for a lot less
work.

I'm not being too synical am I ?

Checked back on that address for the 78 MBs and GPWs -
the asking price someone wondered about is given as: 420,000 US dollars
(works out at 5,385 USD each)

Located "near Antwerp in Belgium".
Still only one photo on the site:

I'm going home to empty my coin jar...

People talk about travelling "to find themselves".
I don't travel to find myself.
I travel to find myself in foreign places.
