That's the precise point I tried to make. A non-dealer will almost certainly NOT get these prices, but quite a bit less. A private sale generally nets 80% or so of the public value, a wholesale transaction (selling to a dealer) about 2/3. In any event, the Net is a great place to buy, often, but rarely a good place to sell, in my three years' experience. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
