Thanks for the follow up. You earned a happy ending with your patience, and Graham lived up to what most folks think of him, even after allowing an inferior example of Optimo work to slip past him the first time. Congrats to both of you! :eusa_clap
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever sold anything. I'm damn good at buying stuff though. I have earmarked certain things around here for potential sale and filled a pretty large trunk with vintage hats, shoes, a letter sweater, shirts, etc. Maybe one day... :p
