So you could pay 100K to restore one or you could buy something that someone has already restored, like this one. It's almost always cheaper to buy than build, of course.

Every time a higher end restoration or build comes up for sale people are quick to disparage it, but I don't see a shortcut to quality. Someone's got to pay at some point, even if it's in sweat equity.

If I'm wrong, feel free to point me at the quality for sale cheap.

I agree 100%. As someone who has built in the past and is currently having one built. All that is necessary for the high price is the WANT and the $$$$.
