          You didn't see how cheap boats in Spain were going for in the early 90s.

          No, I don't mean the asking prices.

          And if you thought estate agents were bad, wait until you come across boat agents.

            Considering I've done a lot of sailing and my parents own a yacht, yes. They bought one for about £30k and sold it for darn near the same a decade later. Try that with a 2nd-hand car.
