- You're missing the point. As a prospective buyer, you've told me there is
- a stock trailer for sale somewhere in the world, presumably in the US, based
- on the phone number's area code. I don't know where it is. I don't know
- how much you're asking. Why should I spend my time and energy to research
- something you could have told me in two short lines of text?...

- Furthermore, stock trailers are pretty much available locally in most
- areas of the country. The worldwide distribution of the original posting
- is unwarranted. I wish more people would use the Distribution: line...
- (You will note that I did not in this case.)
