I know...I've just seen DoKa's on eBay and TheSamba - plus researched
them in Canada.  It just seems like a real pain to get them in from
Canada.
I realize it is a hard question - but I really do appreciate your
information.

Please forward me information anyone may have about DoKa's for sale.

Thanks,
Tom
