Uh, well, I was thinking that very same thing. If this guy *really* is a member
of Volkswagen of Pacific Rim or whatever, it sure would be easy for him to bulk
the stuff over to the US and have a local office sell it off or give it away to
whoever...
It's prolly easier for him to just junk the stuff, so he's either being a really
nice guy or doing the alt.make.money.fast thang.
And frankly, I would prefer not to risk the couple of hundred collective dollars
to find out. After all, if he is a cyber-punk (tm), what recourse would we have?
None!
Enough for me. I'll consider it a foregone opportunity to either get a really
nice (and unusual) calendar or lose $20. Oh well.
