[GreenKeys] Shipping Going Up Again

Tue, 23 Dec 2003 15:59:17 -0800

I know .. there's a 28 on e-bay it is in a very nice Washington State

even though I'm in Portland Oregon, the shipping would be a killer. Bad

I'm going to Seattle about 200 miles to pick up a 35 KSR parts unit.

Should have got that UPS stock 20 years ago !
