Hi Pat, I'm across the country in Washington State. I also have a last name that starts with a Z
Prices vary widely across the country and in terms of what are you willing to pay. For me, I decide if the amount I want it is close to the actual price. If it seems like a good deal, I snatch it up. If it seems reasonable I think about it, and then I snatch it up. And then I don't look any more at what other people paid, only that it seemed like a good deal at the time.
Welcome aboard, and I would love to find out what/if you got, or if you found a buyer for what you had.
