We all shop with our eyes and not with our brains and ears every now and then.  Luckily I made Joe a happy man by having to not worry about shipping and hand-delivering 8k in his lap, and made myself happy by selling it without too much of a loss.  I'd like to be mad at Joe but there was no gun pointed at my head.  I wrestled the bear about 8 months then she got the best of me.  Learned to stick with what I know.  Mirafone.
We all live and learn.  A stinker she was.  (BTW, ya gotta do a little crowing these days to sell something, right Joe?  I mean, you of all people can write a helluva 600 word thesis to make a 24AW seem like Excalibur).
Embarrassed but wiser...
