(BTW he does have an excellent selection of ferners <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and prices on them (well.. not anymore, I bought the good ones <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />))[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
