Here's the plan, and as Dave Barry says "I'm not making this up". Go to juststrings.com they have an offer, buy ten sets of elixers and get the intellitouch for (last check it was thirty something). Sell the elixers on ebay--Intellitouch is FREE (that's US or Canadian free)

I haven't had to use lubricant yet, but i haven't tried all the possible placements and positions yet.
