Is the seller from here? If so, there should be no comment.

It's a netiquette sort of thing.

You're good if it's a seller who is not in the forum. It's usually pretty unkind to question folks who sell here by putting it out to the masses. And yes, that has happened before. Since your seller is an Ebay vendor, you're good with your question. That's the only reason I asked. As far as the material I can't help. Sorry. Good luck with your query.

But I've never worked with it so have nothing to compare. Maybe I'll ask her to split it and just sell me a few.

Hit or miss. Could be excellent material, or maybe not.
There is the forum here for posting advice on sellers. This includes many eBay sellers. Maybe check that out and see if this seller is listed.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

11 pounds. Well, odds are pretty high that will find some color, but those pictures don't look promising. You'd think they would post some with noticeable color. I would pass.

With all the research I did, 11 pounds at 50.00 doesnt sound promising for finding much

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
