Sorry to hear of your troubles Glen, I am a little concerned to hear you paid $30,000.00 for and Amaya XT and Design shop?!?!? I know everyone may get different deals or have better or worse bargaining skills. But I think the going rate on top of the line design shop and an XT should be less than $20K maybe more closer to $18K Maybe I'm wrong but I'd be a little ticked too!
