If that is all it takes, just give me $140,000 and I'll give you 5 jobs ;)

150000 with rate will be 450000 think before buy job

I would like to see that too, but how much can be earned on an average 12 hour shift?

In order to justify another 3 times the current price (say 150K Vs. 450K) that medallion would need to generate 3 times more earnings in order to hold the same value. Given the current economy, I suspect it will be quite a few years before that happens...
