So, as usual with such japes and scrapes, I placed a phone call to Andy, the seller.

He seems reasonable and willing to sell, the prices are, well, up there, but who knows if I can make a deal on a gem that I have spied.

He seems older and trying to clear bits and pieces up.

I will likely strike a deal in a few weeks if he gets back to me with more pictures and details on my object of desire.

I am trying to build a load for next spring now, as my other purchase didnt complete this fall and the weather has closed in now.

Let us see where the saga goes . . .
