Thanks for the advice.. I've been watching the Swap_List for awhile now, and the only classic I saw was a CC, that the guy wanted $100.00 for... I wasn't going to pay that.. And currently I'm stationed in Turkey with the AF, so I have a feeling the best thing to do will be to wait untill I get back to the states...
