Thanks Bill. Yes, I’ve seen the Desert Classics website, but his prices versus condition don’t match my expectations, and after reading his FAQ section where he spells out in no uncertain terms that you’re dealing totally on his terms, take it or leave it and hope you’re not in any rush etc, left me not wanting to give him any of my money.

Hello Andy,
