Hi All, One man's problem is usually another man's pleasure! Other than slow responses I have had excellent communication and trading with John Lauderdale and believe me he always makes sure I get the better end of the deal without question even though I try to give "him" the better of the trade. John is a "unique" individual in our hobby. He seems to be one of these persons who most of the time has "too many" irons in his fire! He is definitely not a computer whiz and actually "shies" away from it most of the time by his "own" admission. Patience which can mean days, weeks or months which "most" people do not have, is a valuable "asset" when trading with John. Trades for me with John have been like "Gold in the Bank"! This has been my experience with John Lauderdale. I can tell you from experience that some auction "dealers" I have delt with in the past are far worse in responding and delivering the "goods" than John ever has been!!! Dick Maheu in New Mexico
