Sorry for dragging this out, but I didn't like the way this was heading.. Seth was very understanding while I tried to get someone else to split the games with, although maybe I should have checked on here first. I originally met him at one of the Pennsauken auctions and he and his roommate helped my friend and I out (bought more games than would fit). I think he went to ebay with the games because they really want to just get rid of the games at this point. I had two different people back out on me before I had to back out on him, which wasted 2 weeks of his time. Ebay is a way to make sure they are gone. As far as shipping goes, a *LOT* of people refuse to send via Forward Air because it is just a big hassle. Also remember that some people will end auctions early if you ask the right way.

Now lets get back to the other slightly off topic of a restoration FAQ.. I vote for a artwork reproduction FAQ. A lot of people can fix and clean cabs, but very few have the info to reproduce artwork.. Just my two cents
