Haha, good read. I so want to ask if he takes payment plans, Is that wrong?

I think as long as you can promise to payback $100 a month for the next 3 years unless something happens to your cousins dog cause its been sick lately in which case it be more like $50 over 6 years but your not sure which machine you might buy anyway since he mentioned their were others as well, but you'll make up your mind after you get around to his place. That is of course after committing to buying his ACDC on eBay and you'll probably decide isn't the one you want cause you'd rather it was is a different colour anyway.
 I reckon you'd make his day!
