If he gets 80 total reservations he will run with the project. If not he will refund the money minus postage and/or paypal or credit card fees. I sent a check but evidently you can do this via credit card or paypal. Ask Jim. Some I don't trust. Jim, I trust. Your point about follow up messages is dead on right.
