Hello Bob, I spoke with Brian, he is a grea= guy and
very knowledgeable as I would've expected,.
I asked Brian to send a short video a=d some current photos of the interior
condition,
- if Jeffrey likes what he sees he will send =e to Oregon to view the airplane in
person Tuesday or Wednesday this week.
We think p=rting it out brings $8.9 mill . Not worth more than that
Dear Larry,
Good=morning. I see you are up bright and early as usual. I applaud your =oyalty and keen sense of hard work for your employer.
Where to start…………Larry first off I would never respo=d to a one word "would you take " style offer. Apologies that I=;s just me. After I notched my 33rd BBJ sale yesterday , I must tell you i= all honestly , I operate on a much more professional basis. Please rememb=r that I do represent the Owner of this aircraft on an exclusive basis and=I have their full trust and confidence in the sale of the product. =br>
Next , for sure this Offer is far too low to be =onsidered seriously AND for sure why would an owner ever entertain a "=parting out "style Offer from a retail client. If your Offer was sinc=re , and I do believe it was , you would certainly require a pre-buy inspe=tion , lots of airworthiness testing , long contracts and extended closing= subject to all the standard tests of a normal aircraft transaction. A spa=e parts dealer might only ask for an engine / Apu borescope, a quick look-=ee and then he would pay for the aircraft AS/IS where is in probably less =han 5 days . This is why retail / end-user Buyers are seldom able to buy a=rcraft at the Spare Parts levels. Politely put , what is the incentive for=a Seller wanting to do this?? None whatsoever.
I will sell BBJ S/N 29102 in the next 14 days and for sure it will d=finitely sell above 10.0 million. I have been given a golden opportunity b= the owners and for sure I will make this happen.
=br>An Offer was tendered on the SW last week for 10 million and it =as rejected with no counter Offer at my urging.
I'm glad you didn't go to look at the aircraft because it w=uld just been a waste of everyone's time and most importantly yours. <=span>
You mentioned yesterday that Mr. Epstein h=d a renewed interest in the Royal Jet aircraft. I would strongly encourage=you to concentrate your efforts in that direction and I'm in =otal agreement that you have no further obligation to me in that regard. T=e Royal Jet BBJ is a good aircraft and will certainly serve your purpose w=ll but for sure it will never be a better deal than our S/N 29102. =br>
However here's where the real issue lies. Ag=in politely put, I think Mr. Epstein and I have quite a significant =ifference in opinion on what the overall resale values of pre-owned =BJ's are. I'm certainly not saying I'm right however I h=ve sold more BBJ's than anyone in the world by a margin of over 2-1. l=have really enjoyed my conversations over the past several months with Mr.=Epstein and I think he is a brilliant human being. I realize only too well=that he is very serious about aircraft acquisitions and for sure he will o=n a BBJ someday.
Larry I don't think=that I can seriously help you anymore and I do sincerely wish you all the =uck in the world in acquiring a good aircraft for Mr. Epstein. Mr. Epstein=is very lucky to have such a knowledgeable and hardworking person on his t=am as yourself. I would love to meet you someday if your ever in the Rivie=a and you have an open invitation to come and visit us.
<=span>
Please extend my sincere and very best wishes to Mr. Epstei= and like he said to us yesterday , it has been a great pleasure speaking =ith him and trying to help educate him on the BBJ Product and the overall =arket in general . Without a doubt , Mr. Epstein is one of the smart=st Chairman's I have ever met , and he has a great knowledge of aircra=t and their operating characteristics.
V=ry good luck to you.
Best regards<=r>
Bob P.
Bob
- My offer is only good unti= end of today.
Thx
Larry
thanks bob. however as you know parting =t out pays over quite a long time with no fixed value. e=gines landing gear cockpit etc. the total after al= of that will probably be only 8. the time and then havi=g to deal with the fuselage and transport makes the 8 m the best pri=e they will receive over a long period if not a retail sale. b=t I am respectful of your decision
