I was at my dealer picking up my the two latest additions to my collection, Cape Agulas and St. Marks when I engaged the dealer in a little conversation about HLs. While we were conversing, he mentioned someone never came back for their Rose Island Society Exclusive. I asked him if it was for sale and he sold it to me for retail. I already had both Rose Island pieces so I bought it for a good friend. I called her tonight and she was very thrilled that I managed to find one for her at the retail price. This is part of my "cultivation program" of new HL collectors. It definitely was a "win-win" situation.
