Indeed.

So, now they have three, used first stage boosters, at least two of
which are looking for customers yes?

I can see the commercials now. A large flat area surrounded by
strings of multi-colored, plastic triangle streamers and a big flag
waving in the wind, rows of boosters in view and Elon Musk in a cowboy
hat and get-up:

Come on down to Elon's Used Rocket Emporium! We've got to clear our
used launcher lot and are practially giving them away! Take a look at
this fine launcher. Elon kicks the landing leg This little baby
pulled only 3Gs on Sundays and can be your launcher for only $40
million! Elon's Used Rocket Emporium, where the only musk you'll
smell is the sweet smell of a great deal on a used launcher!
