I found a guy with two boxes that wanted $300 a box a couple years ago. I wonder if it was the same guy. I skipped it also. I can't find anyone that will part with just one to show my classes. They're very hard to find. Deb

I sent out I think nine or ten sz 32 hooks to friends that broke them or lost them. At that time I had 25 hooks, I think I am down to 3 now. It took me five years to find those hooks. I might of told this story before. I was doing a show in N.C. and a guy came up to me and asked me if I ever saw size 32 hooks. He had two boxes of them that he got from a show dealer for 5.00 a box. I had been there going through the plastic tubs of hooks looking for some sz 26 hooks. I never saw the 32's. When I got a break, I went back over and looked through the tubs again but did not find any. He took my name and said he thought he might have some back at the shop. In the mean time there was a box on E bay that went for 277.00 I got a call from him about a year later, he had two boxes of the Mustads, he wanted 295.00 a box. Needless to say, I passed. I got the 25 I had from a shop in Canada. Tony [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Tony: > You were the one that kept me in the SFP.
