Hey, Mitch,
Yep, cash. We're going to divide up the stuff by price point, post a
Riv employee in each area, and (like last time), you pay for what you
want in that section, and then move on to the next pile of stuff- with
your purchase, and minus your cash.
It's a simple system.

Close - There were two small MB-zips and an MB-2 on sfbay Craigslist

I tried to get my friend to get one, but he thought a 19" mtb was too

should start regretting having passed up the MB-2 any minute now...
