And it really doesn't matter to me whether or not THEY called US, or WE called
THEM. The fact is, whoever has the money at the time the set is available gets it,
and it's ALWAYS been that way. If you really are Jonesing for a particular set,
and think there is the slightest possibility of it showing up somewhere, it's
simple - call that place EVERY DAY. If you're lucky, you find someone that gets to
the point they recognize your name, and maybe they'll call YOU back, just to avoid
you calling ;-)
If I really want a set, and think it might show up somewhere, I call every day.
That's how I get my deals. That, and I see them posted somewhere, and get them
after tons of other people have.
