    There is a reason people leave out certain information. They are taking advantage of you.

    Yup. They know if they give you all the details up front you will not come out but if they get you there they think you will not want to leave empty handed and will do almost anything. It is just part of the deal in this business. Just have to be ready to give them a price for your services or turn around and walk away.

    Have Fun,

    I hate rules, but I love junk.
