I just sent them a note (which I bcc'ed you on) asking them if it's for
real.
I don't know about everyone else but if these prices are real, great.
That was their decision. But if they are not, because someone hacked the
site, I certainly won't hold them to their prices.
Sometomes companies decide they really really need the room. No need to
feel guilty about helping them out in a big sweep (I'd say 130 items is
a lot of help, only too happy to do my part to help here...).

Hmm.. maybe, but they would have to be pretty well set up and these
items aren't popular enough to get THAT many different CC numbers.
I'll be watching my statement for unauth charges... one good thing about
the US is that you have a fair bit of protection against loss (which
drives up interest rates, of course, since it increases bank costs)

Don't anyone tell Josette, or I'll be sleeping in the garage (or the
lego will, and IT has to stay protected against cold)...
