I don't think I usually try to lowball anyone. :[ I think it works both ways. I agree with Keith that few purchasers follow thru, but I know that I've dropped the ball a few times myself. It's really HARD to keep track of who wants what, plus we have multiple identity difficulties, like someone with the email address vwguy@.... who signs his email The Kid, and whose real name is Bill.... Then there are the folks on AOL or Compuserve whose email software doesn't let them quote back previous emails, so I never know what they're following up about. I seem to get letters from them that consist, in their entirety, of, "I don't need the bolts but I'll take everything else." ;-) -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
