[Alberg30] Group buy of trailers?

[RABBIT649 at aol.com]

Yes, I've long wanted to buy one for Ashwagh #23.
I'm out of work at the moment on disability, but I have a tax refund coming 
in a few weeks that should cover it. I'd go for it if we do it in that time 
frame and I'll survivie without the cash. Otherwise it will get spent in no 
time.
Let me know ASAP, final price, downpayment, delivery date and final payment 
date.
