Please contact me off-list with any offers.  Again, I'm not expecting 
top-dollar for this guy, so your offer just might make me let go of it!  Sounds 
like Bud may be in the bidding on Monday, but I'm not trying to wait to see 
what the highest offer will be.  It'll go to the first offer that sounds 
reasonable.  I asked $175 for it on the AF Facebook group, so that's the 
ballpark fence.  Go over that and it's gone for sure.  Less than that and we'll 
talk.
