Chuck (and Chris),
No, I didn't mean you guys.
I was just trying to offer a bargain to someone who wanted such. For some
reason, perhaps because it's a Canon, I received the sort of barrage of
questions, queries, low offers etc that I normally expect on eBay, and which
generally leads me to sell everything through Ffordes unless it's something
I picked up as a bargain here or at RFF in which case I try to pass it on in
the same way.
Probably serves me right for mainly lurking and trading rather than chatting
on list!
No harm done anyway.
