Yes, someone else already let me know I am incapable of reading tonight.  I 
apologize.

Perhaps, but I've purchased well over USD$80k of equipment (mostly telco) on 
eBay for companies.   For the savings I get I usually have an extra on hand 
to swap out in case of trouble.  I've only been burned once, a long long 
time ago.  I do see your point though.  I consider that a stupidity/
overcautious tax, though.  :-)
