Good Luck with the F70, I'm a new member of the Fisher fan club myself having received my F75 LTD just 3 weeks ago.....now all I need is spring thaw so I can dig the deep signals I'm marking in my old "hunted out" parks...LOL!!
You guys should look at a little program on E-Bay called "Auction auto bidder", you put in your max bid and go to bed...the program will automatically bid for you 6 seconds before the auction ends. If your max bid holds up you win, if not you lose....but....either way you get a bid in right at the auction "close" so no one has a chance to steal the item. I've been using it for about 2 years and it works well, it's on E-bay right now for $14.99. Maybe I should have kept that a secret.....LOL!!
Good luck and HH
