Can anybody share some input about this program, I had the opportunity to go yesterday 8-25-03, with my wife. Sounds pretty interesting, but they wanted $1597 for the 3 day workshop on sept, 26,27,and the 28th, in which we didnot have. One thing I did learn, if we can find a way to please the seller, buyer, and the middleman, then REI can be very very lucrative.
