But Kurt isn't going to bother with $1 discs, and why should he? Most dealers 
won't, unless they also like to do flea markets and "Drop in and haul this 
stuff away" sales. And we have Darrell Lehman on 78-C and e-mailing customers 
he knows privately with regular lists of cheap records.

Unfortunately Steve refused to put on the blindfold, so I ended up taking him 
and his stuff to where he asked....(when I joined a frat, a buddy and I got 
driven out and dumped by two brothers who didn't know the city at all, and we 
immediately recognized the CFTO television tower, walked towards the 401, 
hitchhiked to my house and swiped my parents' car and got back to the frat 
house within a half hour..the "dumpers" got lost and didn't get back till the 
next morning)....
