Stan,

Perhaps you should open a travel agency, at least you'd get the commissions from selling plane and bus tickets.

Cheers,

Jeff

The one thing all these potential buyers have in common is that they do everything by E mail and never telephone me for One on One. The only call I get / got from them is the one that saves then $45.00 taxi fare from DFW to my home 1 mile from Dallas Love Field. The first guy I took back to the airport .............. I felt humble. The second guy I took to the bus station ............... I felt a little embarrassed. This third guy ....................... I didn't feel anything but pity for him flying 1100 miles for 320$ just to screw himself out of a return trip at the same price after about a $45.00 taxi ride to get him back to the airport. If he keeps throwing his money away like that he'd destined to be driving a Yugo.
