Truer words were never spoke. When moving to the U.S. from Canada I distilled my life down to one truck load, quite a feat when you consider I had 1 1/2 garages and a house full of militaria. I used Ebay to sell much of my collection. I went through my stuff deciding what I was to keep, what to sell and what to chuck or give away. One item in my chuck pile was a pilot's handbook for the IN3 inertial navigation system for the F-104 Starfighter. Not a technical manual, mind you, but a short introduction to the unit. Something twigged when I threw it into the pile...maybe I should put in on ebay...you never know. Well, I did and ended getting over a $100.00 for it from a buyer in Florida! Oy vey! Now there is very little I throw out without first presenting it to the ebay universe.
