I'm sure Thad is big enough to defend himself, but from my experience, he's a giant music lover who occasionally bites off more than he can chew. Certainly not a businessman or a 'gouger.' How he prices his goods should be of no real concern to you, unless you see something you really like + desire it. I've purchased several items from Thad in the past. Last March, for example, he unloaded, among other things, STC's Emit Ecaps for $14. I'm sure I could have found it new for the same price with little effort. Thad's post made me 'remember' that it was something I wanted to buy + I didn't mind paying $14 to have it delivered to my PO BOX. It's odd; six hours ago, I read a post detailing how IDM was advertised as a forum for 'intelligent discussion.' Now, I just finished reading an unnecessary flame of a fellow list member. Thad's a nice guy [to whom I also owe some tapes to :)], and saying nasty things about him without actually doing business with him previously is silly. Something IS happening, isn't there, Margret? .grant.h.horne .http://delta.is.tcu.edu/~ghhorne/
