I hope that covers any questions and the whole process. This is a great site, and we definitely need to support it! If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask them here. Also ask if you need any help at all with any stage of purchasing; I intend to promote this site as much as possible, and will gladly provide one-on-one help if it's necessary.
