Unless he wouldn't and I should shut up for suggesting that he gives everybody a deal and ruin his business.

The sale (French 75 for $350 on Retrogression) was up for literally a few hours. Its scrods business, and I would have preferred to buy the frame from Retrogression (despite the greater cost + shipping, compared to $325 shipped from ebay) but that's just not how to run a sale.
