Your ATTENTION please! All bidders with less than 10 feed backs (the number next to your name) should contact me first before bidding. If I do not hear from you I may cancel your bids. The reason you ask? Because low feed back buyers rarely follow through purchasing an item such as this (and it cost me $60 to list this). So please if you would like to bid and you are new to ebay just send me a short message. Thank you for your attention. You may now go back to bidding.
