All this reminds me, too, of the best reason I ever got from a seller for his absurdly high price for a VW van. This was a $1,000.00 van at best, seller wanted $5,000.00. I asked him if he could come down on his price, and he replied "No, I have found the Westy of my dreams, and it is $5,000.00, so I need to get $5,000.00 for this one to buy that one" It was a shame his mother didn't read those warnings on the bottles about consuming alcohol when pregnant. I just told him good luck and drove away. Jeff Stewart ----- Original Message -----
