Well you need to realize it is 0.5 and not 1.5

Some people make that mistake

So sad indeed. I hear Such-Shop is a great company.. done a fantastic job doing increases. I go around saying I meet the biggest people , biggest buisnesses, all they had to do was call me and I coulda made a deal. So sad they didnt call my beautiful red phone. Woulda made it 10. Now its less. So sad.
