![]() Juan Jimenez wrote: "Don W" wrote in message t... There's also the price at which it's just an insult. I figure it's worth about $15k, if he had time to leave it on the market. Feel free to offer him $20, but I don't think he'll take it. $8k, he might. He didn't build it. He bought it from someone else and hasn't worked on it if I read his add correctly. Since he paid $14K for it, you could argue that there is a market for it at that price. However, unless you are financially independent it is never an insult for someone to offer you their hard earned money for something you are about to discard. And for the posters who mentioned the potential for liability, see the first sentence. And anyway, I personally would not be interested even if it were given to me free, with free delivery, because my wife would kill me for taking on another project right now ![]() I couldn't agree more with this message. Anyone can sue you for anything. To be accurate, almost anybody can file a suit for almost anything against anybody. Some number of filings, not an insignificant number, are rejected by clerks even before service--typically because no actual tort is alleged by the would-be plaintiff. There are a small number of people who, because of a previous record of abuse of process, are not even allowed to file without first obtaining specific permission from the court. That is not to say that there is no lawsuit abuse. But the remedies do exist in the law, they simply are underutilized. -- FF |

True, but most times the plaintiff turns around and files a revised lawsuit that takes care of that. Clerks do that all the time, making sure that the document has all the required components. That's part of their job. There are a small number of people who, because of a previous record of abuse of process, are not even allowed to file without first obtaining specific permission from the court. That's true too, but it's a very, very small number. That is not to say that there is no lawsuit abuse. But the remedies do exist in the law, they simply are underutilized. So true, but first you have to have a judge who isn't prejudiced towards his own, and actually believes that the system should not be abused.
