I certainly do not want to get a court order to have this taking care of. Yes, we are very upset. What upsets me more is that there seems to be no way or no one willing to remove this post containing our private information. We took a risk in having (...)

Hi, This is probably gonna annoy some people, but I'll take a chance anyways. I've picked up a Millenium Falcon from TRU recently and I'm offering it to anybody in the Vancouver area for $149.99 - 20% + tax = $136.79 (which is what I paid for it). (...)
