I may just sign up just to see what I get but cancel it before i get the package  ah ha ha ha Al Legator Posted at 7:34 am on April 1, 2008 No-one does anything for nothing. esp. if it ends with .com.  $4.00 probably just opens the door to them and you'll be on the hook or pressured into something else. My advice is to ask the college(s) you are interested in about this site and others, and abotu what's available from them. Something smells fishy here. joe king Posted at 7:31 am on April 1, 2008 Not really. It just says it'll be like 4 bucks to ship me something and thats it. My friend got ripped off for like 100 bucks before so i'm just just a skeptic now ha ha queenbutterflykisses Posted at 7:24 am on April 1, 2008 if they ask 4 too much then maby yeah All 5 previous replies displayed.
