$1 in 1985 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $2.75 today

$890 * 2.75 = $2447.5.

Alot of money then & now
You need to use something around 2000 since the retail prices are of that era, so it's more like $1.75 and $1557.50. Still a lot of money!

@dgorms -either way, it will be going to a good home.  I am guessing someone will "drop in on us" at the last minute.  Only time will tell.

@m in sc-I concur with your list of 4 Mark.  Especially, #1 and #4.

I threw about a weeks wages at it, I'm all in as far as raising. If I get it I get it, if not, oh well.........................D

Yep, I just missed it.  I got caught up mowing the lawn and got outbid at the end.  I came back a minute or two past the closing. 

I guess I saved some money and most importantly I didn't have to tell my wife that I spent 1,200.00 plus.

I got beat by $99...................................................D
