Congrats! Some people can just walk into things like this! Bet the investment won't stay at $2500 for long!

maybe it'll become a $2500 liability and make us all feel better about ourselves

My second hatch was had for 2300 with the sr swap. This was in 2005 mind you.

and fmic, and all that jazz.

IN fact I was the one who did the swap (with John) and the customer sold it back to me.

:coolugh: :hsdance:
