    If it involves shipping, go through paypal and classify it as "goods" not as a "gift." If they balk at that offer to pay the 3% charge paypal asks.

    If its pickup, bring a friend lol and have the seller run them in front of you to make sure they work.

    This is a good deal even for older generation vortechs.

    Bringing a friend for sure, he originally wanted 275ea, I got him down to 225, he seems like a nice guy not in it for a ton of money, just going off to the military

    A bit much for a 75, but doable. You might have to turn them down quite a bit, but better to have too much than too little. :) And at that price, don't wait.

    You'll want them on opposite ends.

    Shin has 2 on his 90 which isn't ALL that different. I have my mp40s on a 6 foot turned down pretty low but then again I have 2 mp10s on the back
