Price is OK Ed,
Maybe with this "fortuitous" advertising you will get more takers :-))
I am an electronics tech myself and often buy things like this because it
would take more time and effort to do it myself.
I don't need fancy wiper things, don't often go out in the rain.
I live in Australia and had nearly forgotten what rain was until the last
week.
