    It is not cost friendly for me to ship mid-grade and lower boards, and so I will pry off anything I can on them.



    On occasion, I'll use the angle grinder to cut some of the boards, but I would advise to use some kind of respitory mask in doing this.

    I caught a whiff the first time and decided it's probably not a good smell to inhale.

    I think Easy is still buying them along with some better stuff, He just doesn't want all low grade.

    Yes he does, but again, even him being in the same state (about 6 hours away), it is not cost effecient for me to mail mid grade.
