As I remember he had a place on Long Island where he kept the tools he
had for sale. I think you had to arrange to meet Dave there. He had,
has, a web site. But i do not know if he ever sold anything to
someone that did not see the machine before buying.

Norway has enough trouble with right wing extremists who try to kill -
and anyone who can't understand that shipping charges get paid by the
buyer is an idiot. *I've shipped a $1 item to Romania (it was a pile of
stuff), and the buyer paid $155 in shipping - why is this a problem?- Hide quoted text -

It is not a problem...Gummer is just whining out of habit.

If Gummer went to Norway, they would not put up with him..especially
after the shootings/bombing.

He would be dealt with.

And America would owe Norway a Peace Prize.

You are correct that the buyer foots the bill..many times a sizable
bill.

Corrected for accuracy.

You wouldn't know accuracy if it bit you on the butt.

There was a fellow by the name of Dave Ficken who dealt in machine
tool and used to post on RCM. *He is no longer in that business. *Very
nice guy.

He could tell you how it works in the cold hard world. *You can find
him with a little work.

I was thinking of Dave too...good guy...he went back to sea to pay the
