[Amps] Paypal only

[PA3DUV]

Jim,

I cannot agree more. On all my amplifier deals over the last years I used 
Paypal, either as a seller or buyer. I am happy to pay the fees as the 
reward is a safe and fast money transfer AND the fact that reliable
people take Paypal, scammers NEVER take Paypal.

Cheers, Dick
