I feel sympathetic. It's a tough problem to solve.

I think that's a good second hand value. Not many other brands can come that close.
Best new you can get is probably 19k. A depreciation of 3k is not bad.
If you started putting dealers against each other via phone bids... Guess what? The second hand value drops to maybe 13k or lower.
BW price protects and protects their dealers regions by not allowing interstate sales.
I think it's genius.
Just like Wilson. You think you can call up a Wilson dealer and haggle over the phone? No way.
This is BW. There's a reason theyve been around for half a century.
