[QUOTE="AuMan, post: 98339, member: 2670"] Hey Tm, I have heard similar but who knows, it could just be a rumor, you get many of them in this industry. I think they will only be able to buy the ones that are still to go to auction, not those that have already been sold. There are quite a few people that have bulk lots in storage. I also wonder if it is legal for them to buy them back, as it is my understanding that ex government equipment has to be auctioned off. Its yours and my tax dollars that went into buying them in the first place. I don't work hard to have my money shredded! I'm quite surprised that they did not buy them back from the word go. At the end of the day though, many of the people buying these most likely would not go and buy a new one anyway, so by buying them back, they are limiting their own exposure. At least at the moment, those that buy them and like them, might turn around at some point in the future and buy a new flagship model. The sales of the f1a4's are also generating sales for the aftermarket coil makers which is a good thing as it helps keep them going. AuMan [/QUOTE]
