this entire thread // story // excursion is so cool
cant come close to topping it --but here is a similar trippy thing -
about 3 years ago - i found out that a non-member //non ebayer //with NO PAYPAL had a mint/minty GOLD conion c100f
to sell -- he had it down in puerto rico -
and insisted on a CASH ONLY deal
very $$ risky for me !!
we finally agreed that i would pay for his round trip air fare -
so i met him at the fort lauderdale airport with a shitttload of cash
i brought my 10 D cells to test and then BLAST it right in the terminal,,
ended up to be a very sweet deal for the both of us
