Boy... lets end that GeoZay

I didn't bid on ebay, I saw by coincidence that he was proposing on ebay at
the same time
as proposing off-list with 3 fotos he sent, not telling what foto referred
to what grams and price.
It must not be the same time, because the fotos were great...

On ebay, there was no international S&H pricing either..
do you think I am so stupid to bid without knowing ?! :)

I was only interested in one SA for its beautiful shape. By the time Chicago
Steve
was finally able (or willing...) to put 2 to 2 together and telling me the
price of that
one, I had given up.

Anyway, no matter what, his "fake/Aprils fool day !" AD is outrageous

lets keep any further emails off-list, OK ?

Michael B, France
