(...) Ouch! I feel bad because I have traded with this guy and a lot. He had great deals. Everything was always 20% less than retail ... even the new stuff. I would even have he find me special orders. I always wondered how he could find stuff I (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.mediawatch)
