I think the prices are odd in some places, but as Larry says, his stock changes
how much he wants certain things.
What I don't get is stuff like the bogie plates at $1.25 each. Doesn't S@H
sell these at 2 for $1.99? How many do you want at $1.25 each Lar? I wonder
if I can have them just ship directly to you? ;-)

And that might be a shame, but if that's what how the market says it's going to
be...

I'd say more like $1-1.75 for 6x16 black plates is what I've gotten though I
guess it's been higher sometimes. And 6x12s are less $.7-1 or so.

Maybe. I'm not convinced. But they'd be making so much less than they could
for a trivial amount more work that it would be foolish. In fact, I'll pay you
10% higher than your prices on almost everything and sell them on eBay for
wildly more than I spent. Do you get takers regularly from this? I might need
to set that up too, but just for resale. Also, would you pay a higher amount
in credit that could only be spent at MTW?
