    New here from Ohio.

    Hi! I just won a bid today for a M1009. I have yet to get my invoice or send in my EUC. I heard that the process is a nightmare. I guess I will find out. I was hoping to pick it up in January, but it looks like I might be lucky if I can get it in February. The auction process at GL was a bit of...
