Hear me out…don’t pay the upkeep. - Will Hunting Feb 12, 16:49 6
- It's a boat. It is in a constant state of disrepair; abandoning upkeep will mean it requires the buyer to pay tens of millions to rehab it. - Beryllium Feb 12, 17:08 5
  - Yeah. I get that. Let him pay it or the buyer in the future. - Will Hunting Feb 12, 17:22 2
    - I guess what I'm trying to say is that every year of deferred maintenance costs 2x or more in realized repair. - Beryllium Feb 12, 18:36 1
      - Oh, and that's before accounting for inflation. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 18:37
