- One last item you will be interested to know :^(
- The course tuition is like the price of the copper pot at the flea market-
- negotiable. If you don't respond to their first few mailings, they
- run a "limited time special offer" that knocks about $70US off the price.
- A month or so later, another $70 comes off, and so on. Someone willing
- to wait about 6 months or so to take the course can save $200+. The
- way you know you've hit bottom is th price stays the same for a few
- mailings, and threatens to go UP. I took the course several years ago,
- and my cash price (that IS what we're talking about, the "payment" price
- is roughly double) was around $360.
-
- BUT- it *is a darn good little key machine, and the course is a good
- *start. Now you can buy picks at locksmith prices rather than
- survival magazine prices :^O good luck and enjoy!
