- Umm... I think you've convolved two postings: I vaguely remember a posting
- about a Price Club that would mail-order, but I believe it was in the
- Northeast, not Dallas. The COD mail-order offer in Dallas was made by
- a private individual who was kind enough to drive down, buy them, and mail
- them COD by way of UPS in exchange for the price, shipping, tax, and a few
- bucks to make it worth his while (dinner for him and his wife :-). Where
- there are PB100s, there's the potential for more deals like this. Properly
- done, everyone comes out ahead. Good luck- I think the PB100 is a great machine.
