Thank you Gary.
Of course you did not fall off a turnip truck! an outrigger maybe, but
a turnip truck, certainly not. ;-)

Are you coming to the Denver Show?

(I think I deleted something from that guy a while back)

Extremely common scam guys! Never ever send money out, by the time you
learn the
credit card is stolen or the check is fake you have not only sent your
merchandise but your money as well. Common on eBay with larger
purchases.

pay by
credit card but I told him I would take paypal only for this particular
purchase
because I never heard of the guy before and the order was rather large.
