opivy Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Even if the prices are absurd it's awesome that a store has all that ridiculous stuff. I've only seen one or two of those jawbreaker 2x7"s on ebay in the last year or so. Awesome purchases man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
