He knew he had it sold or it would sell very quickly for at least $4200. 3. He had a client that was wanting one.  When he brought it back and handed it to the customer he did not even ask how much he just said thanks, whatever you got to have on it is fine.Remember it's the good stuff with the variables and everyone wants the good stuff, thats why there's not much of it.  That's why after studying you must leave the price guides "in the dust".[/QUOTE]
