Trump selling one of his personal helicopters

it's TMZ, fwiw

One of President Trump's helicopters is up for grabs -- but, weirdly, he and his team don't seem to be looking for a specific price ... instead, they're putting the ball in a buyer's court.

DT currently owns three Sikorsky S76-B helicopters -- plus other private aircraft not associated with the White House -- and one of those choppers has found its way to an aerial retailer via Aero Asset, which is hawking the thing out of a hangar in New Jersey.

The funny thing ... there's no asking price, the listing just says "Make offer." So, basically, DT appears to have gone the route of Craigslist and will pretty much take what he can get!

Granted, the market value for one of these helicopters of the same year is said to be anywhere between $700k-$800k, with other estimates coming in closer between $1 mil and $2 mil for newer models. All in all, Trump probably wouldn't haul in more than $1.5M at best.

1. I wouldn't fly in this...would you?

If it was maintained and operated like everything else in his "empire", this thing should be declared unsafe.

21. Probably crashes into the Hudson the day it's sold.

2. There will probably be a bidding war among wealthy supporters

3. Guess his "Go Fund Me" site to pay for election recount in WI isn't doing so well. nt

4. The Russians will give him $40 million for it

5. Beat me to it !

6. That wouldn't put a dint in

his bill.

9. They might have, before he lost the presidency.

Now, he's not worth a barrel of borscht.

7. Probably hoping for bidding war by wealthy Trumpsters.

Might work. IRS should seize it for back taxes.

8. You mean, Deutsche Bank is selling one of Trump's helicopters

But, like you said, it's a very small drop in a very large bucket. He'd have to sell the White House to break even, and while I wouldn't put it past him to try, I think he'll have a little trouble laying claim to the deed to the property.

When Obama was in the White House, he used to let us take the paper napkins with the presidential seal, but he used to say, "please don't steal the coffee cups. Remember, I don't own the place, it's only a rental."

10. Or, The Bank Of China

I thought the same as you.
This smells like liquidation to cover loan payments!

12. hey DFW, hope you and your family are doing great ! nt

[DFW]

15. Hey there Steve!

We’re scattered to the four winds as usual, but all doing fine—and breathing a big sigh of relief like everyone else. How about yourself?

[steve2470]

16. I am vastly relieved Biden won

Once the pandemic is over and I can travel again, I might go to the UK on a bus tour. We'll see.

[DFW]

17. Have patience. It will be a while yet.

It HAS to be getting under Trump’s skin that all the respected European leaders are all congratulating Biden, except, of course, Putin and Orban.

[steve2470]

18. I am so glad it irritates him ! lol

Yes, I am sure it will be several months before the all-clear is called.

[steve2470]

11. kick for day crowd nt

[dawg day]

13. Rich people are weird.

who needs 3 copters?
And Trump tells us we should vote for profligate him.

19. He's trying to find out what his stuff is valued as "collectibles"

22. wow

that really sounds ugly on the inside. 31 years for a private aircraft is not ancient (a lot of the single engine private aircraft were built in the 60s and 70s). However, I would insist on a very through pre-buy inspection.
