darkmuncan Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 its not profiteering there is no shortage of little fonts in Aus last time i checked... whilst truly expensive, its a stupid person that would pay so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6C1 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Maybe they meant $9.5 and someone had played a joke and rubbed out the " . " LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wui39 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 HAHAHAHA....if they are $9.50 I would buy all and sell it to my local LFS, they had them for $60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterboy Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Sound expensive, but you have to remember you can't compare a retailer to a local breeder..... Shops have a lot of overhead cost.. But $95, must have been 8 bars hahahahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbin4 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Well maybe 7 bars,that would be about right but sounds like you mean they are 6 bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
