[QUOTE="GenX Enthusiast, post: 3421623, member: 101075"]Ahahaha! I read this whole thread as if it were posted yesterday;) Totally taken in. Amazing how a tad of confusion about the terms "circulation strike" and "circulated" could cost one a pretty penny;) ex. "Hi, I have a circulated 1979 LMC I'd like you to buy from me for 3k!" The democratisation of information hasn't helped any experts get better, but has certainly sparked interest in those who may otherwise have not got involved.
