Hi Evan, I am sure you will be around for next year and many after that.
I am with you about the auction site. Not all folks tell it like it is about a piece of gear, but lately I have bought a good bit of equipment and have been very lucky with what arrived on my doorstep. I find that the best protection is to ask a lot of quwations and pay with PayPal which is tied to a credit card. 73, John ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
