[R-390] JX-28

[barry williams]

Todd,

As my students would say, "DUDE! Right on with that."

I'm very opinionated as far as selling list member to list members. I 
have a JX-28 here that I bought from another list member for an 
outrageously reasonable price. He did great work on it and he was a 
great guy to deal with. If I were to ever pass it on, I would cut the 
same sort of deal with the new buyer from this list. Or, give it away. 
Enough friends on the list have sent me free stuff, and hopefully I've 
sent my share.

Would I list it on that crazy auction site? Probably not. It's not a 
mark up cash cow to me. Other things around here are just that, but not 
the boat anchors.

Someone around here likes to hold on to arguments until a problem comes 
along. As my students like to say, "Dude, take a nap!" (not you, Todd)
