8 3/4 price ????

Like Mrmopartech says, take some cash with you & talk to the guy. Maybe you can strike a deal. 20 + years ago I missed out on an AAR Cuda. I'd been trying for a couple of years to get a guy to sell it to me. He kept telling me he wanted $2300 for it. Later I saw him & he told me he'd sold it for $1000, & said "The money looked good at the time." I learned my lesson. Money talks. Worst that can happen s the guy says no.
