Jim, Your marketing on those 1/4's is lacking.
I can pretty much promise you that somewhere right now there is a 
guy with a Machine who desperately needs those 1/4's!

If you were in my neck of the woods, I'd be over to get them ASAP.

I don't need them, but for sure someone does!
Just a matter of connecting the dots to find the right person!
