Da!.......................EXTASY!..............We just made up a new batch, 3 for a Washington! That be one ''VERY WEAK!''..................U.S dollar!.........Man this sucks, all I can hear is that you need to raise your prices, well some we have and many we have not. we're doing our best in trying to keep the prices down..............One guy email me saying S#&%! I could have got these early Dura ace hoods from you for $ 17.- and that includes S&H!...........Darn I just paid $ 30.-!......$ 13.- saved here and there goes a looooooooong ways...............Like a real.......LOOOOOOOOOOONG WAYS! In these times and days...........I'm sure many of us would like to save a bucK here and there. When it's time to start pinching your coffee money you know the times are bad! Hey! Not me, this came via a thankful customer who was able to save a few bucks!
Ah!.............Enough of this mess!...............There's 2 countries that has a fully operational office of the U.S customs, Canada is 1..................And Holland is the other!........I wonder why?!?! For sure not for just drugs alone but there must be a lot of wild stuff making it's way out of Holland!..............Old tulips!
