Yeah, I have that sense about certain folks... and in my mind, there's nothing wrong with sipping some good bourbon, a man has to have at least ONE vice, otherwise he gets too weird, lol. And I don't really smoke as much pot as I let on here, I haven't had a bong hit in a while. I was gonna take one the other day with this foot injury, but it was easier to just lie down and get my weight off it, ya know?
Sending the price of that sling wouldn't bother me, particularly if I sense that a person is a fair & honest dealer. Lemme tell ya, some of the tooled leather saddles I've seen out here in Arizona & New Mexico, the ones with silver conchos & turquoise on 'em as well, they can run higher than $12K for one saddle! Now, even if I had a horse and the money to buy one of those fine saddles, I'd be leery about sending cash, lol... $170, not so much.
