No...but speaking of out og the country, I got a letter
from our son
with photos of the kids grom South Korea...he sent it over
a month ago.
It came in one of those US postal "Sorry but your mail
was damaged in
transit" envelopes...only it hadn't been damaged...it was
razor-b;aded
open at the top...suppose it sat in some CIA guys office
for a while?

I've got a S. Korean customer. Always trying to cheapen my
rates.

That's a cultural thing...they do not buy anything at the face cost...if
you go to the market or store over there and just pay up, they look down
their nose wondering what's wrong with you that you'd throw your money
away like that. Haggling is a national pastime.

So, I should try and 'haggle' my prices *up* ?

You are the hagglee because you have the business...it doesn'tr work
that way...start out with a higher price with him initially so that he
can haggle down to what you want to be paid...
