Beasley, Judge,
concurring specially.
As to Division 1, the key for me is that the greatest portion by far of Faubion’s market was overseas; he exported most of the parts rather than try to target a domestic market. Paliuca knew nothing about the foreign market, where the destroyed parts would have been offered for sale. Thus he clearly was not qualified to testify what portion or percentage of the destroyed inventory could have been sold in this market, which was Faubion’s chosen market, or how long it would take to sell them. (The latter was important because there was testimony to the effect that at some point in time, there would be no market as the machines would no longer be in use in numbers large enough to make the business of parts sale profitable for Faubion.)
