Keep lurking and you'll find yourself obtaining trains.

No, that's only when you lurk around ebay.

When you lurk around here you get good ideas, good advice, and sometimes see some good pic's too.[:D]
Thanks everybody

You guys have inadvertantly reffered to an Aussie slang word, which has been more recently been superceded to an extent by rorting.

To have a lurk means that you are some how getting something for which you are not entitled or for getting more than your fair share by doubtful means.

To rort the system, means something similar but mainly applies to public servants and politicians.

In any case a bit unsavoury

Awh yes, unsavoury.
You know I am going back in business as a silversmith and from back in 1990 the equipment prices was not bad.
As I check now on my equipment I had sold (the big stuff) I am looking for the guys that want out of the trade, like me back in 1997.
I feel abit unsavoury lurking around corners and gettn people to there lowest dollar amount on equipment.

ePay has done well for me but it leaves tiime on my hands to do other work, like silversmithing!

Listen mate, if you have dreams and no trains; you are miles (kilometres) ahead of the person that has trains and no dreams
