Just done a trade with Dan. Great communication. Will happily deal with again anytime

Just sold Rob my cherished GUS G3. Easy to deal with. Great communication. Will happily deal with again

That's just made me decide to pack it all in. There I was quite happy playing root, 5th, 7th and now I see this knowing I'll never have the time (or ability) to get anywhere near it
