I didn't think I was first in line for hfcable's Winnie '92 in .25-20, so I ordered a pair of Hi-Power grips from Emeralda. Then I found out I was first in line, and jumped on the deal right away. No sooner than I dropped the payment in the mail box today and got back to my desk my wife calls. She had taken in our vacuum cleaner (a 12-year old Oreck) for repair, and they said it would be $200 - and probably wouldn't last more than a year. So, we replaced it - to the tune of $650!
