I see you are in Lake in the Hills. Being that far north, why not head up to
AES in Milwaukee?? As far as "the toy store", I've tried to visit the place
in the past. The hours are kind of hit and miss. You may want to call first
to make sure the owner will be there as it seems like a one-man shop.


Just a thought,

I am in Glen Ellyn area..... I looked at AES and thought about it. I would
have had to pay sales tax which would have brought it up there a little in
price. Ended up getting it from www.buy.com for $281 shipped. AES was $299
delivered without tax. Suppose I could have had them ship it from AES and
probably gotten it quicker than buy.com and not paid the tax.which would
have been $16.80.

Total from AES would have been $306.79 not including a 200 mile round trip,
and we all know what gas costs these days.

I've got an unblocked Pro-26 'european version' handheld for sale
$100.00 25mhz-1.3ghz No blocks, No gaps, not modified in any way. a
google search should produce more details/reviews of this model. a
perfect supplement scanner to fill in the 'gaps'. Excellent Condition.
E-Mail if interested.

You get down to it, it's about the same distance plus I fell that "The
toy store" has better deals and are more customer friendly. Yes AES is a
bigger location than the Toy store, but it's nicer to have someone who
is more friendly than a person who is a jurk and don't care about
anything about getting a sale.
