In that case, you have to ask yourself: why are you buying? By that I mean, are you buying for investment? Are you buying for a registry set?...
First thing you have to ask yourself: why are you submitting?
Yup, and blowing stuff up. I hope you all have the same number of fingers and toes tomorrow as you did yesterday!
Very nice! I personally like it at the 45 grade - but I'm pretty sure it would get a 53 if you sent it in.
What a dragon's hoard! Wow.
