Utter Frustration:

It's only a predicament if you buy it. 5500 is nuts, probably more than he ever made in a year. Take that 5500 and buy something you can interact with and will give you some type of physical enjoyment like a used motorcycle, several cases of relatively fine wine, a vacation, etc. Its a piece of cardboard. If the money was of totally no consequence I could see it but since it would make a dent then. Let it go. Just my opinion.

I agree but I would also never spend more than a few hundred for any piece of cardboard. I would get all of Roberts great suggestions for $5500. You can get a decent used 600cc Ninja(mid life crisis $2000, 2 cases of decent wine $500, and a vacation so fun you won't remember most of it for 10 days in the Netherlands for the remaining $3000. From personal experience that year was way better than any piece of cardboard and I still have the bike.

Here's an idea....why doesn't the OP submit an offer he feels is a reasonable price for the card ($1200 for example) and then everyone who sees this thread submits a lowball offer of $500 or less to make the OP's offer seem worthy of accepting.

I, the OP, just had a $375 offer declined. Not sure I want to go as high as you suggest...but I did paid double to complete my Morrell Meats Koufax collection earlier this year so maybe I will...
