I bet you HSN and Silvertowne don't return any of them to the Mint. So don't complain if the Mint favors the big buyers for new products. We...
love them ipen!
Do you hear that???? Is it the sound of falling prices on eBay??? Or is that the sound of flippers jumping off the window ledge? Somehow I...
@Heater thanks loads for the heads up. Good show, man! You made several people here very happy. I am grateful to you for the heads-up!
But speedbump, that process only works when you polish the fields and have the device is frosted. It does not work with this enhanced finish
