    Good guess! image But sorry, no. Maybe a little hint is in order. Another advertisement by another dealer screams "Go Green!"

    I've always enjoyed reading the ones that claim to pay the most but charge the least image

    The answer isn't very difficult. Are so many forum members really that out of touch with what's hot, hot, hot? image

    Nada! Although guess (1) could be correct under the right circumstances, guess (2) is an impossibility. Time for another hint: Even though there are two blank spaces, there's just one thing that's blazing, white, center-of-the-sun hot.

    So-Called Dollars?

    1) Any inventory that has been sitting around and we need to unload
    2) Anything that we can charge a ludiculous markup on because of hype digressing from reality.

    BTW I do like dealers....seriously....there is one guy that I have on occasion bought stuff from at a local show and every time I chat with him he tells me how hot Classic Commems are...I listen to him and politely agree...but I have only bought one from him a while ago, an overpriced Bay Bridge, just because he is a nice guy.

    edited with my dealer comment 'cause I am not anti dealer and my post sorta sounded like I was (to me anyway).
