We were so impressed by the couple who were selling, and the fact that their asking price was about $8K less than blue book, we had no reservations agreeing to their asking price.
The owner's wife was very upset that the rig was being sold, but her husband had developed a disease (maybe MS or MD) that meant they couldn't get too far away from his medical advisors. She was in tears when we drove the rig out of their yard after the sale had closed.
