To everybody in the discussion:
Do you want to know the scary thing about the trees? Over a 4 year period I
bought a 140 service packs (1988-1992) from a mail order company in Denmark
for about $2.50 a pack. I listed 8 single packs 4-6 month ago on e-bay for
$15.00 starting prices and they ended up between $25.00- $32.00 per pack.
(Go figure)
BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BECOME "FRUSTRATED"......
I have decided not to to sell any more cypress tree sets becuase I can see
the "F.U.N." factor is no longer in our hobby and our community!!!!!
Sincerely,
Mike Fetsko
