If you the patience and time, do it for some fun.
On a different scale:
Years ago I took an airplane in trade for a car. Had no pilots license and worse, knew little of the plane. Wasn't an extreme amount but crazy enough. I trusted an appraisal but later learned was b.s.. The guy who was then to buy the plane said it had a hard landing and some airframe issue, then lowballed offered. Feeling sunken and a bit panicked, I stepped back. Told him to screw it as the plane has been flying yet on an expired annual. Even if parted, was well worth it.
Short time went by but while on one of my Sunday motorcycle rides, met a really cool guy with connections. Gives me a phone contact. I later call that guy. Mister Mystery plane broker says to meet at the airport in a half hour. I race to the airport and here comes some sleek black turboprop plane. He looked the plane over and started it. While leaning over a rusty tractor hood, I show the books, title. He writes a check more than what the trade was figured. Further tells me not to talk to anyone at the airport. Few days later, mister plane broker just showed up, handed him the paperwork and key, did a quick pre-flight, jumped in the plane and flew away.
