That a TS Aligner Jr. would be sought, and a post for one to be sold in back to back posts in the classifieds?

Signs of some rational order to the universe.

According to Terry Pratchett, million to one chances always pay off!

I really thought it was a joke @ first.

Laughed when I saw it. One right after the other. Thought about replying to one of the posts to introduce both to each other but noticed that the for sale posting had been edited to say it was sold so figured you had become acquainted already:)

I had that same "what are the odds" reaction.. And so I had to stop and figure it out.. I think what happened is the person wanting to buy posted his WTB, then found the older for-sale post (several days older), and replied on it, almost within the minute according the timestamps I see. This pushed the older post to be 1 post more recent.

Nothing like using search.

Especially when there's Luggage involved.

I was on Craigslist the other day and there was an ad for a Quad four engine, and two down was an add for a Quad four wanted. Now on this Craigslist adds pop up way too fast for that to be a read one and posted thing. the posts were almost simultanious. Odd things do happen.
