Dunno Hassan, but I dropped a buttload of dough on stuff I wouldn't see
again or be able to get even online. I had no problems. The aftermarket
selection was excellent, and the dealers I bought from, and there were
many, were all fairly decent chaps. One or two had prices I thougth to
be a tad.....impractical (read, they don't seem to mind going home with
a lot of unsold goods), so I moved on.If the vendor won't deal, then go
to the next guy. He'll beat a price just on principle. It's called free
enterprise the last time I checked Patrick.
This guy just didn't get his arse there fast enough. Great show, models
people AND vendors.
My 2 cents Cdn.
