Post by: NoOne=NBA= on November 02, 2007, 08:35:22 pm: The best part is that it's not even a REAL Pac-stick.

I might believe someone would pay that for an NOS Pac-stick, but not a "get it at 1/4 the price by ordering it from TornadoTerry" stick.

$2.50 will be for the actual shipping costs. The rest will be for the ---smurfy--- manila envelope (if you're lucky) and handling.

Post by: CheffoJeffo on November 04, 2007, 10:38:55 am: Wow ! Thanks for the link -- I couldn't find it online or in my catalog.

Funny ... the stick itself is still listed at $12.99 ... that must be one heck of a mounting plate!

In any event, I think that Tornado Terry has got the best deal on this item at $26.

:cheers:

Post by: Singapura on November 05, 2007, 10:52:12 pm: Well, he's also selling cafeine shots so maybe he's had too much of his own merchandise. Singapore is full with nuts like this because ebay.com.sg is free to advertise on.
