It seems like there is a lot of interest in the aluminum heads. Maybe one of
the
'list members' who is a dealer can get us a 'bulk discount' on a batch of
these. There would be several advantages to this:
- a 'dealer' can get them wholesale, and still make a small profit
- they would already have a good 'shipping mechanism' in place
- we could use credit cards, etc to pay for them.
The above would eliminate to burden of shipping and payment on an otherwise
ill-equipped list member.

BTW - This wouldn't be considered a conspiracy would it, like our ill fated
rare
jack cartel???
