Then you strike the match and you get an impressive conflagration.  Because,
as it turns out, GBP 27 would have added a mere 21% to the final price of
"Bill's" SIF which just closed at USD240.

"David's" SIF went by BIN at a bargain USD95.

Impressed?  I haven't done yet . . .

Both went to the same bidder.

I inquired about shipping to US for the one Bill found. Airmail would cost
£27.00 + £3.30 for signature - Surface mail would cost £ 20.00. A little
rich for my blood.
