because contrary to popular belief...i want to see the merchandise before i give any more down payment! i'm still ahead with kry and plan to keep it that way.....i'd feel much more comfortable buying a permitted kry (at say $4-$6+/-) than a "negotiating with the bagel lady" kry at $1.10......i think either one is a good buy but my "gambling money" is pretty short these days...judging by the volume i'd say a lot of folks are thinking this way...
