    Got a deal - Gloat!

    I needed 9 sheets of Dibond or similar for an upcoming job and started to shop around for a better price than the $110/sheet charged by my normal supplier.

    I happened across a Craig's List ad for some, turns out to be a freight liquidator. I drove up and it was exactly what I wanted. He sold me 11 sheets at $35 each, and threw in 2 more that had a few nicks on the edges. Well worth the 2 hour drive north on a sunny day, even saw 3 different flocks of snow geese.

    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

    After buying it all the customer has still not confirmed the order, but at that price it's OK, I'll use it all eventually with or without that job. They may have sticker shock.
