I've been planning this build for a long time, and I'm sure plans will not change significantly. I'm not going to give up on the project (at my income, all of my projects have been gradual, and I haven't given up on any), and 1 year is a long estimate; it might be as soon as a few months.

What I'm asking is whether or not $1000 is a fair price. If its a good deal, I shouldn't pass it up, because regardless, I know I'll need that block.
