but how many new car manufacturers have come up recently?
Yeah thats how it is now. But sadly youre never going to get a good price on something unless you have an extremely big budget.

one reason being

I dont think many people want to leave this industry, it gives you flexibility in your life, its a job you can do from your home, you get to spend alot of time with your kids, make your own schedule, and look at porn all day. Why would someone get out for such a little cost, you can basically run these businesses on autopilot for the most part. The only time they eventually consider selling is when its close to garbage.

Though when we're talking about big budget sites, we're talking about 500k+, then people consider selling at a bit of a discounted price because 500k+ opens up MANY doors for them. Or if theyre close to retiring, it gives them a nice cushion.

How often are you going to see a program that isn't completely dead for sale, small - medium sized? never. only time they are sold is when theyre no longer updated and theyre prime for picking for the credit card bangers, etc :/
