to avoid future costs...

but why not "one dollar" ? Surely an old aircraft carrier is worth at least one dollar---
which would be less humiliating than "one cent"--- and I presume the buyer could afford a dollar....

we never claimed the sale price was less than 'one dollar'.....
even though we had to pay the sales tax on that supposed dollar)
