Replying to a message of Richard Webb to Shawn Highfield:

Pity.  Last summer my boss bought a brand new GMC flatbed truck.  It replaced
a 1970 GMC C50.  He sold the 1970 truck last month for $3500.  Ran fine, nothing
obviously wrong with it.  BTW, that's about what he paid for the truck when he bought
the business nearly 20 years ago.
