Yeah, that is a GREAT deal. You know what you would pay for that brand new? With that kind of a deal, I would take it to a professional shop and have it all fully ported and maybe even get a new chip burned!

Hello!? You have to ask?

I wish there were dumb *** 's here selling TPIs for $100. I'd be a rich man. Go back there and tell them there's a guy in OKC that will buy the rest of his TPIs for a $100 each. What...? you think I'm kidding?

Complete rip-off. This guy is a total con-artist. You'd better give me his number so I can, uh, call him up and give him a piece of my mind. Yeah.
