[R-390] Black R390-a

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I am never sure even what I'm doing on eBay. Figuring out the rest of 
the loons is way beyond my ability.

One correlation I have noticed. The bids seem to get more and more 
strange the later you go on Saturday night. I suspect that ethanol may 
be involved.

I'm not sure that if I was trying to get top dollar ever seen for a 
R390 I would do it with a couple of cheesy low resolution photos. The 
more I look at the listing the more it looks like somebody who is 
semi-clueless.

	Take Care!
