| (...) Is fred looking for 2x3 black bricks? I have quite a few that I was going to use for train roadbed, but I could part with some if it will help with your project. I have about 1200 of them. How many do you need? Mike (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

It is a sign to keep you eyes open at the other stores because mark downs at the other stores will happen soon. I have also found (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
