Those guys have the money, I just follow them around picking up the
loose change they drop. (o: There's safety in numbers. You can
basically build a little wall around yourself while you peruse a
table's contents or dicker with the seller. Keeps the flippers at bay.

Actually, we saw the Collins station you got beforehand, Carl. Joe
'PJP was looking at it but passed, though he did buy a like-new
Johnson KW matchbox from the same guy. That's how I know you really
got a steal: his original asking price, with all of the spares, was
even a good deal. So you clearly stole it. That's the good thing about
'fests and having the chance to haggle. For me, it's a big part of the
fun, like the hunt, the restoration, and so on.

Now, had 'JN been with us, you probably wouldn't have seen it unless
you looked in the back of his Suburban. He's afflicted as badly as
you. :D

Now that would be a must-buy, purely for the entertainment value! Get
Burt to video you at the next event, beating those youngsters to the
draw.
