And the same mysterious "guy from the Bay Area" who bought up all the Technic Space
Shuttles over the phone from the ZB I frequent!

It's also worth dropping by. Don't know when Tom called (maybe it was AFTER I
happened to drop by my nearest ZB), but when I went, they had just gotten a shipment
in, and-- get this-- because they don't have a whole lot of space, they took another
25% off the clearance price of the trains. Out the door they were $60.61 each
[gloat].

I don't feel too bad now either! My guilt that I am not a trainhead, yet I greedily
deprived people who might be, has been assuaged by the fact that I left a couple for
someone I knew would appreciate them ten times more than I would. (He got them so
they are gone.) I would, of course, entertain trades for the ones I got, but it
would have to be something really good like a combination of MISB Paradisa stuff,
Velux house, Maersk truck.... :-)
