No, you HAVE to post them. You might be the only one capable of rivaling Buzz's stick collection. He posted a picture a while back and I think we counted 50 somewhat sticks. I think I still have the picture somewhere here it is, more like ~70 sticks
Do they (customers) go through with the purchase after you mentioned it was a final sale? It sounds like good enough of a deterrent to go with the proper size first and if then they are still not content; make use of the availability to exchange and get the larger size.
I think it was because the green ones were made in North America and the black ones made in Mexico. I've seen the black ones retail for as low as $30 CAD
I would suggest Bauer 8000s. When I put on the 8090s it felt like I was lacing cardboard to my feet. The 8000s are pretty much remade 7000s but softer, they're discontinued so you can find them at great prices, probably cheaper than 8090s and XXs. I'm skating on Grafs but wouldn't hesitate to pick up a pair of 8000s
