I would agree with this. I have a web site and I get all sorts of offers
from people trying to sell me machines. I just got this one from
"tv43_at_digital.net"

I already have a III and they seem to be in the US so shipping is a

I haven't been offered any 'big things' yet, but that is probably to do
with not having any in my collection.
