When I buy I hope that I will lose no more than 10% when i go to sell.
Great attitude! Buy it, have your fun then move on. Did that in Thailand back in the day only it was "rent it, have your fun and move on." Either way enjoy what you buy and I'm hoping that you don't loose your ass when you move on.
Decent pre-mil 243s show up from time to time on the auction sites. Given that they're auction sites price wise all bets are off. I wish you luck in your quest.
