 From today's craigslist:

https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/d/lewisville-2009-toyota-yaris-hatchback/7815953954.html

2009 Toyota Yaris. A nice used car for just $1500. Right there about 20 
minutes drive from me to go get it. If I had any serious problem with my 
Echo 2002, I would jump on this one.

A used car is worth, and priced, between $1500 to $2000. Anything above 
that is a rip off. A computer is worth between $70 and $80.

And at the bottom of it, ANY car above $2000 and ANY computer above $80 
is a rip off. New or used. That's my main point. You guys have bad 
habits. You're like those psycho Shoe freaks. Or those who lose their 
savings buying stocks that aren't worth what they're paying for. You 
don't know what you're doing, and others smarter than you, or rather are 
simply healthy in mind, are taking advantage of that.

In how many different ways have I pointed to this fact? Blows my mind.
