4 cents each?

It's a fair deal. Not a steal, definitely not a ripoff.

I can think of worse ways to spend 199.00 .
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

$50 pass, $100 back up odds

$40 outside and a $9.00 C&E.

The last time I was at the craps table at the riverboat, I thought I needed a language course from Rosetta Stone just to understand ANYTHING!

I guess if its all 40's and 50's there are some better deals than that, but for a fairly mixed bag not a bad price. I'm not sure if the member from the old forum is around but he was selling comons for 150.00 a bag I believe, best advertised price I have seen.

Surely the likelihood of them being unsearched and any good dates being in there is slim?
