I'll admit you got a good deal on your particular car however you are correct; it doesn't count and your apology is accepted. We were speaking of how
I overpaid on
my particular car. As you pointed out, other than being a G50 Carrera, they are pretty different cars. I can find really nice blue 915's in the low 20's all day right now but, again, not the same.
To embellish your eloquent definition, paying too much means that one can purchase a similar item at a lower price.
In order for you to prove I had paid too much, all I'm asking you to do is produce said similar item at a lower price. It doesn't even have to be Baltic blue; it could be Diamond Blue or any other blue that you find.
If you can offer proof of such a car's existence, I will bow down to you and admit I paid too much. Until then, I say I paid a reasonable price. It's pure marketing and economics.
However, I searched rather extensively for over 6 months, drove a few cars, talked to a ton of people, have a gig or more of photos sent to me, put money on another car (similar price, btw), and this was about the best out there.
That leads me to another point to muddy the waters; if I see a car that fits my criteria, is considerably overpriced but I have the means to purchase said car because I don't want to wait. Am I still paying too much or is there value in the premium I just paid because I got the car I wanted without having to search high and low for a better deal? If you say I still overpaid, also confirm you've never paid airfreight on any purchase you've made.
Please feel free to use this thread to begin posting info on the blue G50's you find.
