Thanks for listing the price. Now I know what the going rate is +-,
& that is all I was hoping to learn. Not trying to dis you or try &
low ball you on the seats!
Mark expressed well what should be a minimum of info posted when
offering something for sale-& it would probably save you a lotta time
answering p-mails to each person who inquired as to what the price
is, where you are located, etc.
Pax,
Tom-would probably buy em if I were anywhere close to you
