Reason and common sense are some of the key factors in perception. True, some aircraft makes and models have limited sales data. With this said, specific aircraft segments do not operate in a vacuum. Values have always trended according to the particular market dynamics within the pre-owned market. The Bluebook has always identified and constantly reviewed these relationships. If a particular model has no activity in this market, it is reasonable to assume either the posted values are too high, or there is a total lack of market interest. In either case, such conclusions would support reductions in value. Trending values in a price guide is nothing new. In the final analysis, the judge and jury is not the Bluebook. The real judge and jury will always be the checkbook.

The market is completely petrified and frozen in fear.I doubt if anyone can stimulate any buyer interest at any price. Right now, there seems to be some evidence that sales are being executed at about 1/2 of Blue book asking retail price. If that is in fact the case,then the blue book should so state.

It has always been my understanding that the values in the Aircraft Bluebook was completely based on aircraft sales. Which means the value they sold for was averaged out per make and model and Aircraft Bluebook showed those numbers as Retail and Wholesale. I know that many of the changes made to the summer issue and to my knowledge there were no sales in the particular catagory and the numbers went down drastically without any sales proof. Thus all the bankers, aircraft owners, and dealers are outraged. It has to be some common ground are the whole system will fall and none of us want that. Aircraft Bluebook must only list prices of aircraft that they can truely back up from reliable sources that can be proven in a court of law should it ever come down to that. Respectfully, Sammy Lee

It is not about gloom and doom or buyers market, it is about hurting the emotions of the citizens company like BJets has already created this huge wall and differentiated the segments as luxurious and non luxurious. In this recession where people are struggling for their survival……… then comes this kind of luxury product? Where is the world going? No wonder the BJets employees also behave the same way and treat the PA’s as [edited out]. There is a dark side to Business jet aviation also……

Carl:

Hope this finds you well. Along with you, I continue to be heavily involved in the jet appraisal business. I am finding that there really is no fair market market value at the moment. I enjoyed your jet assessment, but I find there are only stressed prices that are seeking a 60 cents on the dollar level from values realised at this time last year.

I like Ivan Klugman's positive attitude. If the credit market ever eases up (maybe next year), sales will pick up and purchases can be made.

Cheers,

Many may see this as gloom and doom. I choose to see this buyers market as an opportunity to enter the market a very comfortable level. It’s time for the air taxis operators to upgrade their fleets and add equipment without having a large monthly payments. Private individuals can buy an aircraft they would have not been able to afford 6 months ago. Corporations need to acquire equipment to seize market opportunities around the globe especially those in cities that the airlines have cut service.
