    1.25" $49
    2" $69

    I wouldn't call $13298 Very Low Cost...
    ... and so on

    You must be new around here. The correct take off of a Ma$tercard add is:

    18" DOB $2200
    Mirror Grinder 40" $1800
    10" Folded Schmidt Camera $4500

    Finding out you spent ALL your money on glass and plastic and are getting kicked out of your apartment. Priceless.

    For some things in life there is Slashdot, for everything else there is Google.
