The market sample is small — the price forecast for this segment is less reliable than usual.
Four numbers the deal is measured by: what to bid, what it will cost landed and cleared, what — with the repair, and what would be left after selling it in Lithuania. Worked out by the same estimate we buy by ourselves.
