I wouldn't call it a "fire sale". They knew they didn't need it 5 years ago but let it sit there and rot. They should have sold it long ago. I really want to see #3 back up and running, prove it works and then sell it. The future is in waste oil, not plastic IMO.
imo 2 reasons ..
first is *selling* is a short term solution that removes a potential cash cow out of P2O's long term equation
second is clearly P2O doesn't *need to fire sale* this asset .. which makes me go *hmmm*
one other aspect that may or may not have *legs* .. *rumor* back in early 2014 .. had it .. that there was a serious buyer with interest .. take it FWIW .. because as all who interact with me know my mantra .. rumors are just rumors until they are 8k'd .. but *rumor* had it serious buyer was *observing* the take DOWN of PTOI's pps from Fall of 2013 to early Jan 2014 (35c to 10c to 6c) and *anticipated* and ability to garner an asset for pennies on the $ .. which *reminded* me of my own belief specific to certain dirty whales .. who i strongly suspect believed they too could *gain* an asset of P2O's from a severely reduced (and imo illegally manipulated) price per share
