How 'bout no dealer ads, ever?  Don't worry, if I ever have anything 
else to sell, I'll find some redneck to buy it....even if I have to 
give it away.....I prefer to sell/buy from enthusiasts, but I'll be 
damned if I can (or should) plan my life around the several lists 
I read....

Many thanks to the TWO fine gentlemen I've dealt with on this list...
I don't know whether it was friday or not...but if I decide to sell 
something on Saturday, it'll be long gone on rec.photo.marketplace 
before I wait till Friday.  But I shall not "screw up" the "system" 
again by posting to the LUG first, or at a lower price...
