Lots of airline pilots  ( keep in mind in those days they still made 250 to 350k a year. )..

Bought it from someone in the airline industry which try to do the same but it didn’t work out for them... and I also paid $8k more than asking.

I think that is very evident as there are thread after thread about wholesaling on BP and whether you can do it without a license etc  this activity already exists.Then you take the busy professional they don't have the time or the hard working Truck driver how is he going to sell his home when he is on the road or the airline pilot who is on a 6 day trip half way around the world how is he going to sell his home.

, "Wow, great job hacking your Southwest airlines card for miles and sacrificing your FICO."

One of the reasons being that the professional management industry as a whole has gone the route of unbundling their services much like the wireless phone industry or airline travel. 

I participate at flyertalk dot com (a popular frequent flyer forum) and they have a "secret access" forum where you can trade airline stuffs on the "black" market.

It is very centrally located, incredibly accessible (Check out Avelo airlines) I recently took a flight from LA (Burbank) to Eugene direct, non-stop, $100 round trip. 

I have the same issue with a refund from Egypt Airlines...

Join us, it will be worth the airline flight in if you are building a team in Kansas City.

the difference is Timber has been here as an industry for 200 plus years.. same could be said of buying stock in any large corporation... when it was nothing.. heck even buying UA 5 days after 911 or any airline stock..for that matter at that time.Timber Steel and others is not what it used to be and nothing ever is..
