Hi Guys.

Please do not put Frank at FRANKS SURPLUS in the same
light as as the other cowboy. Frank has always been a
nice guy to deal with and always follows thru on what
he says, would recommend him to anyone
unconditionally. Have a number of 151's and he has
helped me with little bits and pieces on most of them.

As a side note, even if you order mail order from lots
of places they also include Handling charges.

With little stuff, I try to save the stuff up till i
have enough to justify an order or I order additional
consumable stuff to offset the shipping. If you stick
with guys like MULLINS, RAPCO, FRANKS SURPLUS ,
RIVRAD, RON at G503 etc ( guys who have been around
for a while) you really cant go wrong.

I think its also a little naive for us to think that
we will consistantly get that many real "STEALS" on
EBAY, as it is monitored so closely by other
collectors and guys new to the hobby that tend to
overpay.

At the end of the day I think that in my experience
most of the common or garden stuff on EBAY can be had
cheaper or for the same price direct from one of the
many dealers, if its a one of a kind item, its an
individual judgement call as to how much do you want
it.

Anyway had to jump in for Franks sake and post my 2
cents worth.

Mark
