But you can buy an new one for $139.
My bookkeeper bills my time out at $155/hr, so practically I have $328 invested in a $139 dollar grill that I might sell for $30. I don't know why I do this stuff.

Heh heh... I love it, but only 'cause I'm right there with you. Only worse - I've never had the good sense to actually sell any of it. It all sits around my place, often unused, until I get tired of looking at it, at which point I just give it away. I've been operating at a net loss my entire life this way. Having fun, though, and I'm sure that's why you do it, too.
