Then you'd be foolish to pass that up.

What about how on line they don't indicate any weight or grade... that
doesn't peak your interest... and the price in the catalog is about one
tenth what it should be. Shipping is inconsequential... I never
consider shipping cost from mail order companies... would you not
consider the cost of traveling to the brick and mortar emporiums...
gasolene alone is a lot more costly than freight, not to mention peril
in driving, wear and tear, and time.
