Seeing this listing, almost all lines preceded by the word "several"  
-- makes me wonder why we don't see anything like this in or around  
the Dallas TX area.  You might see one or two pieces, and the usual  
overpriced S-line stuff, but this number of items in quantity is  
something we don't get around here.  Wasn't always that thin, but for  
the last few years almost not worth the trips if one was in the mood  
to buy/sell/trade BAs.

I can only drool in wonderment ....
