Hi Howard,
        That is why I am interested in hearing from All DEALERS, not just
the ones that have rooms at the show. If I buy a beautiful house on several
acres of property with a view of the ocean and pay $80,000 for it, that does
not mean I shouldn't resell it for 3.8 million dollars. What someone pays is
in no way related to the price at which they sell (unless that purchase
price is available to them on an ongoing basis).
        I still have only heard from a couple of dealers. If I do not hear
from many, I will not be changing my policy on posting prices.
        Best wishes, Michael
