yep, for sure.
I thought I would try some tat black petite lanceros, but I am not going to pay the highest price ever paid.
Not to mention paying retail ( or virtually retail.)
Great tool. There will be other auctions, maybe prices will be lower in cooler weather.
I don't mind paying a buck or two extra on singles to try them or five packs I want to try, just to get them in on the shipping.
However, as a matter of principle, I'm not going to bid retail for a stick.
You want to pay retail for it, fine. I will wait till another comes along, or hell freezes over.
Whatever.
