I think we should go for "the leave the prices as they are, since they reflect the market, as within the parameters of original cost of construction and supply and demand. There will always be folks on the street, that are willing to take a great cut for their rig, due to personal financial current situation, but I do not believe that someones lack of fluid cash should be forced on all the rigs on the road.
Remember, you have to take into consideration, many factors, eg. original price, age, all the upgrades, gadgets, and current condition, We keep our rigs in tip top shape, some in better condition that when they left the original converter (mechanically), so why should I sacrifice the value of mine, because someone else is having a financial (bust year) or vise a versa.
If we continue the original thought, our rigs, will soon be worth same or less than plastic.
I have nothing against plastic, since I also started that way, but I used to live in a marginal neighborhood in Chicago a long time ago, compare that to you get what you pay for, why should I cheapen the best (I feel that there is no reason to do so.)
The prices will go up. This is from our 25 years experience in prices of recreational Real Estate Market.
