I like to check out videos at our old home, opalauctions.com occasionally, and thought newbies should be armed with the information in these two. Wayne Sedawie does the first one, and his twin brother Paul does the second with his son Ross. Hopefully newcomers who plan to buy can avoid wasting their money on junk. ;)
