Oh, I imagine Mr. Tea-pot Seller is ranting. He’s “not online right now,” according to the little Yahoo chat smiley. Somehow I’m not surprised. ( **friedo** , that’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks, thank you!) ---

It’s a little used tea pot that sells new for around $ 13.00. I have the exact same model (and no it’s not mine). I thought it interesting the guy was making a point for interested parties to **"email me for more or better photos."** ---
