Re: IML: More calipersonline

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

I predict that you can resell your second set for at
least what you paid for them, maybe a fair bit more if
you word your auction well.  They fit AMX cars as
well, and are very scarce as we all know.

There are folks that do go on ebay but don't put in
the energy here.  I have a set coming as partial
barter for the 50 cores I sent in.

Am undecided about warehousing or flipping.
