Yes it's up F/S, but someone else is in front of him (hockey buddy). But he's only 50% he wants it. Very possible your buddy will end up with it for a great price! Let's keep this thread on topic, you have my number. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
