[Ben Treuhaft]

Carl, you have written on the subject of selling customer lists.  My offer
has elicited much mirth but no takers.  Where can I read your article?
thank you     Ben

I have an interest in the subject of buying and selling piano service client
lists.  (wrote a PTJ article on the subject a while back.)  I'm tempted to
dissect this offering line by line, but I keep coming back to your subject
line . . .  "selling my customers down the river".

Really?!?!?!?
