[QUOTE="Phoenix21, post: 317777, member: 7424"]Basically, I can only think of three reasons, most likely many more, but here are the three that come to my mind at the moment: 1.

Some people out there will do all they can to make the extra buck. That's what I can think of, might be wrong with some, but those are my opinions at the moment. Hope they help answer your question man. Phoenix :cool:[/QUOTE]
