Pacific Southwest Air is selling a 328 for over 550% of its value.

This is definately a bug because arent supposed to be able to sell a plane above 200% of its value.

Yes he is. Interesting bug. Almost makes me laugh as hard as when I saw the HUGE numbers of old airplanes being dumped by bigger airlines onto the used market, many above value.

Not like anyone is goin to buy it

Can you get the aircraft number off of that 328? That may be the one that I lost and have no access to. I put it on the market at $15M only to dump all the routes and lost it. The only other aircraft I have for sale in that range are B736 and B737's. I guess this means the used aircraft market is just full of bugs.

It does say that you are the current owner

That's it. I have no access to it. I put it on sale for $15M just to clear all the routes quickly and then couldn't get it back.

[JDubman]

yea, but why would like an $11M go on sale for $60M?

I just lost a a340-600 like that aswell. Then all of a sudden I had a beech 1900 for sale at 200 milion, lol

anyway I'm quitting until all the bugs are sorted out. Still sell a few aircraft though

[airline55]

glennos, what airline are you, I don't remember having you in the alliance.

This has been discussed before, if the plane is put on the used market and then ages with the selling price staying the same.

For example:
Airline A puts a 737-900 on the market for $97.5 mil 150% of the value($65mil). Then the airline stays on the market for a few AE years because nobody wants it. Three years later the airplane is worth about $58mil, but the price has not changed as the airline kept it on the market.

Yes, hpscot08 that makes sense, however, a brand new 328 (the concerned aircraft) is only worth $12,500,000. In this situation, it is on sale for $60,000,000. According the the 200% rule, the plane should have had a maximum sale price of $25,000,000, assuming it was a new one.
