well, 

I lost the bid  :(  actually my bid too late and didn't even get it 
in.

Anyway he has offered to send me a set for 50 bucks.....that sounds 
fair if the quality is there and they really are digital copies. The 
labels don't matter one way or the other... its the SOUNDS I need.

I'll report back with the verdict of my purchase.

Thanks again for all input.
