Hey, you are welcome! That's funny, because I didn't thougt of this phrase as a joke, as a way to say that Italians are "cheap" . It was simply something that I observed during this almost-decade I spent collecting vintage stuff: a very good number of folks involved in the collecting and trading of antiquities are people of Italian origin. God bless them, because here in Brazil ( I believe that it is also true in America as well ) the majority of the population tends toward the mentality that everything new is good, and that the old things deserve nothing than go to the trash can. I know that a lot of people look at me like I am some kind of weirdo. Almost everybody I meet this days is drooling over the plasma sets that are on the stores...except me.
