than I spent buying the used stuff. Somehow, to me at least, the tv ad guys

Then there are the families who have the chairs left behind by their parents
who got them with Medicare help who are trying to sell them on craigslist
for almost the same price new.

I like your mobility kayak business idea; can't wait to see you on tv. And
I'm always ready to soup up the chair!!!
