Hey Rick, If the Hamilton Beach #26 isn't spoken for, I'll claim it for $20 plus shipping. Let me know what you think. Thanks!! Pat |

...in this and other threads. It is simply plain good manners that when someone posts about something on offer and open to all, that interested folks take the polite next step and directly email the offerer with inquiries to begin the dialog. One cannot nor should one expect the offerer to email you first. That's just presumptuous and rude... If the offerer has not stated a desired ballpark price then it means he doesn't have one and hopes for the best, as would we all. However, it still behooves the interested to at least make a lowball offer based on their regional sense of what a thing is worth to a fellow collector/hobbyist. Unless it is laughable, 99% of the time your offer will be accepted and shipping needs & costs can then be addressed. And again, haggling, cajoling and bargaining is an activity best left to private email correspondence. In my case, Rick & Terry, there is sadly nothing left over that I either don't already have one of, or could possibly be justified for the enormous shipping cost to Canada. But I have my favoured souvenirs of the NC 57 - the Lewyt 66 and the micro upholstery nozzle for the Modern Hygiene. Just knowing these objects were actually touched by yourselves is extra special. :-) Dave |

I believe it is clear I was not referring to you Charles, or John or Pat, for your reasonable questions, the answers to which would lead you to pursue the thing or not. Rick is being equally clear when he states "If you see anything here in these pictures that you can't live without. Make an offer. E-mail Terry or myself and we will contact you back. This is the last step just before the final EBay push." The broadly general point being made "...in this and other threads", is this: One should not expect the offerer to email you first just because you have posted that "Holy Cow, I really want that, how much do you want for it?", (as though the Forums are 'live chat/instant messaging/twittertweets') which also implies that the seller should take time from their busy schedule to email you when you have yet to make an offer.
