Geez, I don't know where to start or what to say, folks.
Thanks to all of you. Each of you. There. That's a start.
Actually, Eric, Kat, Tig....that's a mighty strong suggestion about possibly buying them back. Like collateral for a loan. Only not at 25% Loan to Value Pawn Shop prices. But (a) it could be a while before I'd be in any position to do so, and (b) once you put your mitts on this or any of the others, you ain't gonna wanna give 'er up. And I'd totally understand.
