Well, you see aircraft like this for sale in Controller.com. Just this past weekend I was flipping through the print version of Controller and saw a picture of a DC-3 (not a turbine conversion) for sale for a mere $193,000. Didn't mention whether the engines worked, or not! :)

Hehehehe.... shoot, I own 4 of them (and others here probably own MORE!) :-)

In Australia we have a word for people like Paul_W.
