Well...first of all,..I thought it was unclear whether these were definitely 
going to be drop shipped, or shipped to him, then to you. If they were 
shipped to him, then you I can see $5 each way as being feesable. He also had 
that ~ symbol in there....which if you remember some simple math would tell 
you it is an approximation. Furthermore, if it is like the Velocity kit, 
(which thinking about it now, it is probably the same thing) it would have 
some tools along with it... a little more than I would trust to an 
envelope....

Well... if you don't think $800 for a quaife is a good deal, then I don't 
know what you're smoking. I'm not going to tell the list what cost is 
normally, but I will definitely say it is more than what anyone would be 
paying for one in Peters group buy.

Clear enough for you?

Yeah,...you made a few things clear, unfortunately I don't think it's exactly 
what you wanted to make clear.

Spam? Spam is like advertising cheap long distance and porn....as close as 
this stuff comes to porn for most of us, I don't think it qualifies. You 
subscribe to a mailing list...if you don't want to see something, hit 
delete...it's that simple.

Well,...next time you inquire, perhaps phrase it in the form of a question.
