Buying a bird - bubblerboy64 - 06-18-2007 02:04
I am going to take the advice of my "elders" (perhaps not in years)
and keep the cards close to the chest until the deal is none. It is
one of the Birds on the Bill Board and I will have it (or not) by the
4th of July. Wish me luck and the seller as well. If it is as it
should be it should be a none deal. Having said that I have looked at
a couple and as you all know etc, etc. I am a little like a kid
waiting before Christmas. This will be an adventure I know that. Good
one or bad one time will tell.
