Anyone remember Itex? My parents exchanged on it for a while, then the bottom fell out on that. They were saving their Itex dollars to buy a swimming pool for us kids. 6 months go by and they call the pool company to place the order, and the pool company quoted them 3x the price in Itex as before. I don't remember the exact devaluation; I just remember being sad I didn't get a swimming pool. Another summer on crabgrass running through the sprinklers, thinking "I'm getting too old for sprinklers."
For the kids Tony, be safe and limit your potential downside!
