If it was "BRAND NEW never worn" why was it entrusted to a
"jwewler for repair"? That would bother me if I cared.
Never being an Apple owner, it would never have any value for me,
and the price I would offer would be quite low -- as I always try
to get the price down to the value something has to me -- remember,

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
