Re: RE: DDAR bulk purchase

A DDR @ £140 to your door in the UK is a very good price and the only thing
Graham is
going to be making out of this deal is lots of work for himself. I have
purchased 3 DDR's
@ a cost of £330 but they are stuck in our Washington DC office :-( and I
have quotes of
$150 for shipping them to the UK :-( Add it up.

PS. I only wish I had waited for Grahams offer to pan out.
