Dude, you said yourself they ain't made anymore, you have no option. So if want one you really do, used it will have to be. Packing, return policies.. all moot if they aren't made anymore. Wish in one hand and crap in the other and tell me which hand is full and which is empty.
Did the 1959 Edsel reference not explain that concept of "There ain't no mo' of these"?
What part of I do have options don't you understand??
They aren't made anymore . . . check
I buy only from outlets that offer return policies . . . check, not moot as you say
Other manufacturers have acceptable product . . . check . . . for the 2nd time, see above
No crap here . . . check
Life is good . . . check
