Posted By: <b>Scott Gross</b><p>Talk about only two to tango:<br /><br /><a href="http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=8810752698" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=8810752698</a><br /><br />Don't know what's scarier, Exhibitman picking up a Red Cross t219 for $120, or if one of us hadn't bid, it going for $60 ...... (oh, by the way, nice pick up Adam, grrrrrrrrrumble <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>)<br /><br />And speaking of RED CROSS brand, why are they so scarce/rare ???<br />I suspect it was an ATC brand. Was it an expensive product (that was too pricey for average customer), a crappy product (that no one liked), or, probably, a very local issue ???
