Sam, I'd be interested in some apistos, but I won't be able to stop by on Friday. I know pickups get priority, so I won't call dibs on anything. I'll touch base with you and see whats available after all pickups are done. Good luck with everything even though its sad to see you go.

WELL........
sam could insist that everyone sign in as an active paid up member before they come through the door...(or have membership forms on a table on the porch to fill out before they come in)??????
maybe I don't want to open that can of worms...
but i suppose it isn't fair to penalize him for wanting to liquidate.....
guess this is a topic for another time....

If I were in town, I 'd be there... there are some really cool things!

Sheesh, guys, lay on any more shame and we'll all be too embarrassed to show up... Sam will be left with everything!

Something tells me that Sam's front porch is going to look like the outside of the Apple store the night before a new I phone gets released... Of course, Sam offers much better stuff than any Apple store.
