Now, that's a deal. I offered him a 600% profit and he turned me down. :-( I thought that 600% in this economy would be more than a fair profit. :-) Yes, I knew he would not sell because he knew exactly what he had found. Aram >> Oh come on you have to be kidding me, this is something to brag about? This is like the story of hearing about some dude going to a garage sale happening to raise money for some kids kidney transplant and then "scores" a $1,000 Hermes Grace Kelly purse for $5. I echo the sentiments of the other folks who hope that the other part of your story that you might have left out is that your friend is going to donate some extra $$ or maybe work at the soup kitchen for a couple weeks.
