gotta like their business model - make the announcement near end of business day friday - only to deal with deluge of emails, missed orders come monday

RF has the custom plates. We will make this a weekend lunch project - and I can drop steph off shopping at Walnut Creek (so it'll probably end up costing me a whole lot more)

Only took one guess - guess i have to buy you a drink next time you are up in this neck of the woods. I will have to enlist RF help on the nameplate though (more beer to serve).

well it was up on Betts website on the new consignment - and it's not available now. A book I would have always liked to buy, but never would have considered spending that amount for it (or any...

Well and I just traded mine - before I saw what this one fetched (and I am extremely happy for what I traded for)

not only that - there were 3 late bidders and they all had bids over $2000...i should have asked for a percentage when i spread the news :)

The only bookstore I would want to buy from is nearly 40 miles away - I have to travel to Oakland or Berkeley for that small, homey bookstore feel. All we have around here is a Barnes and Nobles,...

Was it in "New" condition?[/QUOTE]

It was in PERFECT condition. it was shipped with another item - in a box and with small sized air/bubble padding (that they usually use)
