And many "herpers" like us would get a huge kick out of some of the old prices!lol.......Like when two older neighborhood kids came to my house back around 1970, and wanted to sell me the BIGGEST MONSTER of an Indigo I ever saw in my life to this day!!. It was 8-1/2 to 9 ft long!!!......the real "kicker" is they only wanted EIGHT BUCKS!! for the thing!....it's head was as big as a grown mans fist!, and it was twice as big around as my arm(being only ten at the time!).....eight bucks back then to me might as well of been $1,000. It was impossible to scrape up!. My mom wouldn't buy it for me cause she said I wasn't doing too well with my school work!lol......I would have rather had my ass beat up and down the street, than for her to do that to me!..she always knew how to punish me were it would do the most damage!lol....so I had to watch those kids walk away with that awesome "noble beast" of an Indigo, and watch them disappear into the sunset!...man!,..did that hurt!.............and to think they wanted less than a dollar per foot for that thing!! those were different times my friends......................Doug ----- Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open mouth and remove any doubt!
