Just before the fire I had 3 of these, all were brand new with a little shop wear, selling price was about $ 275.- a pop! Within minutes of listing them at around 3:00 am one morning they were all swept up and on their way to the land of the rising sun!.....................And the buyer didn't just try ordering 1 of each he thought he could get 6 of each! They were listed individualy..................................Man!..........The mail box was.....''SMOKING!" that morning! Of course all from the same place!.................There is more to be found!
