Okay, here's my proposal: What if one very trusting Lugnetter and one very honest Lugnetter get together for a lucrative deal? Let's say I buy a bunch of RIS 1.5's and Tie Fighter vs. Y-Wings at my local Target at 25-40% off. Then couldn't I just (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
