- Hi David. Well, there was nothing in the original post about 10 card
- lots. But if they are, the prices come closer that's for sure.
-
- Doesn't it seem kind of strange, though, that this Taras Lawris individual
- hasn't responded (either to e-mail or to the postings)? I mean to say,
- if I were post something for sale, I would keep a pretty close
- eye on both my mail box and the newsgroup.
-
- Hey, Taras. This isn't a lynch mob.... clear up our understanding of
- what you posted.
