    Peavey Mart Closing

    I've never seen stores going out of business put limits on anything...why would they? They want everything gone as fast as possible for the most money possible. This is why they'll start at 30% (which is actually surprisingly high) and probably end up at 50% after a month or two when the good...

    Something I'm going to have to sort out over the next month, I have three Q tanks - one with C25, one with Argon, one with Oxygen that are all TSC Praxair ones.
