I just have to nibble on this one....
Though a first born doesn't sound like too bad a deal (19 years old, male,
5' 10", Blue eyes, healthy appetite), I'm not sure the shipping would be
realistic. I'm guessing I'd be paying the freight for the MP inbound and the
19 year old outbound. Though, realistically, the cost savings on upkeep and
maintenance could be significant and offset the purchase. :D
Seriously, any thoughts on what something like this might go for?

Yes -- sorry I sounded so serious, Valerio. I was writing with one eye on
Phil Muller's humourous remark. The thought of how much this thing could be
worth boggles my mind.
Shalom.
