This is certainly a tough one. I have about 25 of those armor pieces and I
really wouldn't want to spend more then a $1 for 1, but, at the same time, I
would never part with them for only $1. It's kind of funny how you're
willing to buy things at a certain price, but will only sell them at another
price. (Part of it is probably due to the fact that I HAVE some, so the
need to get them is not high on my priority list).
