|
| Where are all the post holiday sales? The local HiFi City (aka MegaCityHiFi) guy said sales were good before Christmas, so they don't have as much excess to clear out in the new year. That seems to be the consensus in the papers with other retail (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| WHEE! So concepts 1, 2, 3, and four have ALL FAILED for me. Everything always ends up being too lightweight or too flimsy. Result? SCREW LIGHTWEIGHT FAST THINGS.

| (...) I'm tending to side with Calum on this one. If you use Costco too sparingly then it isn't worth the $45 you pay for membership. BTW I checked Costco today because at Scam's Club (whose membership I let lapse in November) you can shop there for (...)

| I've been out of touch for a while, so I haven't been able to request my space on the layout for Train3. I hope its still possible to fit me in. I'm planning a 2 module long straight section.

| I'll just jump in here with my 2 cents USD worth of wisdom... Costco is a good deal if used sparingly and with some intelligence.
