[R-390] Pricing Question

[Tom Norris]

I've had at least 1 390 given to me and several bartered in the past few
years. I have paid for several.

I've bought several blue stripers and r/r'd them and sent them on their
way either on ebay or as barter gear bait when they could be gotten for
$180 each and were a New Thing at Fair. These were the decent ones
that I was able to pick out myself on a trip up there.

Guess I've been lucky.  All this after getting rid of all my stuff years
ago and having to restock my decent tube gear.  Glad I didn't wait  
too long.

And, Yea, I miss Bill Slep too.  Always had interesting things.  And  
bought things.
Some things I foolishly sold. We wont go there though.

Tom
one of several, but I'm not sure which one
