Step 9GETTING STUFF

GETTING STUFF
ok, so once you've found some totally rad thing, you will probably want to GET IT. This is how it works:

"Hello,

We are very interested in your product: Uranium Control Rod Model XF-23. Can you send 1 sample? Please ship using our FEDEX account number: 142234423

Ship to:
< your address here >

Thank you very much,
I. P. Frehley
..."

So, one of 2 things can happen here:

(1) 2 days later, "Uranium Control Rod Model XF-23" shows up on your doorstep. (and your fedex account is about $60 lighter).

(2) They will write you back with:

"Dear Mr. Frehley,

I am sorry, but Uranium Control Rod Model XF-23 has a sample price of USD 425. I have attached a PI.

Yours Truly,
Daisy Chen"

*The sales rep always has an entertaining english name they picked from a children's book about flowers.
