IanHarrop 41 #3 July 19, 2005 There has to be another way - how much would you actually get for the rig? If that's the difference between buying your own business then you haven't accounted for enough money the contingency part of the budget."Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobsled92 0 #5 July 19, 2005 I love my 1st rig too much. I just had everything upgraded or replaced(as needed) and I don't even jump it. I keep it up to date for a guy who's just off student stat. up the street from me.

wmw999 2,445 #6 July 19, 2005 In a heartbeat. A rig is stuff. You are supposed to own stuff, it's not supposed to own you. There's lots of stuff out there.

Katzeye 0 #7 July 19, 2005 A very wise skydiver once told me while I was unemployed - NEVER SELL YOUR TOYS! I still live by that credo. Is a chicken omelette redundant? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #8 July 19, 2005 No way.............a rig really isn't worth very much money in the larger sense. Remember.............most businesses LOSE money for AT LEAST the first year. Something like 80% go under within 5. Then you'll be jobless, broke, and rigless. Sounds like a bad idea to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

outlawphx 1 #10 July 19, 2005 Unlikely. Your rig isn't worth that much anyway, and if the business isn't worth much more than the value of a rig, it's probably not worth buying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck we'll you'll have to move your shit so I can put my stuff there hobbes, Nah, I wouldnt sell my rig. theres not a whole lot of resale value in a rig. i would find the money somewhere else. for the 2-3 thousand I would get for my rig I would definitely not hock my love fo rthe sky for that price. if it was a secondary rig, maybe. it jsut depends on why the bank wouldnt lend me the money;. you should NEVER use your own money when you have the chance to use someone elsesMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the difference between buying your own business then you haven't accounted for enough money the contingency part of the budget. No doubt! Bare minimum should include a year or two of operations run with your personal money. Don't count of a profit for a year or so depending on the industry and you will be better off.Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
