Man that sucks.  I probably would have been one of those people who went out and spent some $$$ expecting it to go through.  Bummer for those people.

btw, I remember seeing million dollar doublewide's and trailor's out in the mountains in colorado.

I'm sure the majority of the price is from the land. Those trailers in Florida have NO land

This shows you how messed up American's sense of financial management is.  DON'T spend your money before you make it!!



Thanks to the OP for posting!
