    Wecome to the forum and my very best advise is to read as many of the old threads as you can. Also remember that prices change so even a few weeks ago the price of some items have fallen. So read more. It will arm you with the knowledge not to walk past a potential pay day. Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
