Oh, probably as many as they can get cores for.

And yes, D and H head cores are certainly within that "FROM $132" pricing.


Much like Fuel Saving gadgets. Save "up to" 25% !!!
Technically "negative savings" or worse economy also falls within the described range. The wording only guarantees you will not DO BETTER THAN such-n-such a level. And if your savings DO exceed that advertised, who would complain?!?!


The phrase "up to" should be disallowed in advertising, requiring instead "at least."


Put a stop to that small bit of misleading BS.


"From $132"
Like yer old swap meet line:


Huh, is that price firm?
Well, no, I could go a LITTLE higher I guess...
