Well, I will only be trading with one person. I don't WANT more than 1
more 8880, and yes, I DO want to keep as many 5571s as possible ;-)
I offered 2, knowing at selling prices, it would be a good deal, I just
didn't figure on that many people having "extra" 8880s. Now I have to
figure out who to trade with, based on set condition, and how close they
are to me (i.e. cheapest shipping costs), or whether anyone is willing to
pay the shipping for the 5571s to them (it ran $25 for 2 to Puerto Rico
Insured USPS). I hate choosing :/
My trades will get tougher - after this trade, I am saving any other 5571s
I don't split for auction, and I will trade 1-for-1 or close to it for
8448s - I want several of those ;-) I also will trade 1-for-1 or close to
it for 5591.

| Tom, I'd pay to be in a threeway... That is NOT what it sounds like. I mean if you could pry loose 2 more 5571s I'd pay you the ZB clearance price for them (the official one, I mean) and you could have another one of the people who offered you send (...)
