I think you all are missing the real joke here. The real humor is that the
buyer MUST pay shipping on this! ($3.20?) Not only will VB give you a
current catalog free, you can call them on a toll free number and they will
send it for free! I wonder if they get a kiss when they buy this? And why
wasn't that thing nailed to the outhouse door along with the sears catalog?
And don't look a gift horse in the mouth. I drive my car around all the
time and people tell me "I have this or that left over from selling the
car"I pick up a lot of freebies and deals. I bought a hardtop once for $50!
I thought it would be an aftermarket for so cheap, but it was the real
mccoy! I sold it a week later for $450. I have also been given a ser I-IV
worksop manual. So keep making those drives, sometimes they pay off! Lou
