Quick Question

Does anyone have a Levenger or Rollabind punch they don’t want and would be willing to sell? I’ve been stalking some on e-bay, but they seem to be going for the same amount as the new ones and that’s a little ridiculous to me. I would prefer the one that punches all the holes at […]
