[blindkid] used Perkins Braillers

[Richard Holloway]

I'm not familiar with any free repairs through school. Sounds handy, how have you managed that? It that common elsewhere?

My thought on the $190 AZ listing was if it were close enough, the seller might even work out an inspection or might be at least be more accountable if a local pickup were arranged, etc., though shipping is included I think. (Maybe they can ship it free matter?)
