What makes you so sure? Some of his prices are SO far below MV ($38 for a
4547??) that I wonder. You won't question them because you don't want to look
a gift horse in the mouth. At what point do you say as a friend, "dude, you
need to be charging more for some of this stuff"?

I don't mind taking advantage of Toysmart deals or Walmart or K-Mart, but
fellow LUGNETers is a different story. When I read about the Friday madness

bums", but "He just gave away $1000s for nothing". Bummed me out.
YMMV,
