You should trade someone with a set of regular vaders instead of removing that pair from circulation. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 09-30-2007, 02:37 PM | #6 | Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: The Woodlands, TX Posts: 68 | Quote: Originally Posted by cooljess76 I know people who would kill for cloth vaders since they're kinda rare on this end of town.

Sure, it would be more work for the shop, but you'd still make some money from the sale. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!
