Jerry;
Had a guy bring in a 20" RCA/VCR that he claimed was dropped. (Today)
Case was cracked, and he started telling me how the front panel buttons no 
longer line up.
I told him I needed $20 (up front) to even look at it. Non-refundable.

He didn't think it was worth losing $20...what was I to do?

Can we start addressing to "Dear Jerry"?

I feel sooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad.;-)
