The 747-8 is not being well received, even at a significant discount it is far too expensive for a retread. It is an especially tough sell when you can have a new-built 747-400 today at an incredible price.

They are still making the 747-400's?
Why they selling the 747-8's so high then?
It's only an upgrade to the 747-400's isn't it? Plus I heard they were using similar engines to those for the 787's.
