Been dealing with "import mark up" for what...3-4 years now. 900 clams will have to wait for a bit, even though I would really like to have that diff something fierce. But fret not, it will be affordable by the time I finally decide to purchase it. Either that or I have won the lottery/recieved my dream job and can afford to give them away like I do 12 packs of Mt. Dew.
