Posted on April 5, 2008 by Greg

Posted on March 26, 2008 by Greg

Sometimes, you have to do your own research and I’ve decided to make the sacrifice.  I sell a fair number of Great Easterns and have yet to talk to anyone that’s actually used one!!!!  Unfortunately, it seems like most of these have turned into ‘safe queens’.   Well, let’s see if I can be objective and…
