I have paid for all but 2 of my 80's Sharps. I think of it as a "Thanks for taking care
of my tv Fee" I'm much happier to pay it vs. some taxes and bank fees.

I got 2 Sharps from just outside Boston 3 years ago, the ad asked just to give
them a good home. They belonged to the girl's parents as they spent their last
few years in a home. She said both sets were "on" for less than 4 hours a week,
for about 2 years a piece.... After they had died, she was just reducing stuff in the
house. I wrote and told her about my first job with our shop servicing Sharps, and that
I would be keeping them for good, and she just gave them to me. She was really nice,
and we traded stories outside on her porch for about 2 hours before I drove back.
Experiences like that always leads me to always look for the possibility, more
positive than not, that my next CL encounter will be a good one.....

And I must say, most are positive....

And yah, I would like to have that Toshiba as well as the Sharp....
