I am with giorgio11 on this one. How did you do on the sites - were they major auctions, or tuesday sunday type auction? How prompt were the...
Just look at it as a way to collect a nice set at VG prices. :) To me the only complaint I have is the passes the tpg's sometime give to key dates.
Cool and interesting pickups. I like the stories with them.
The local shop I use is owned by an older gentleman, but I would not call him cranky. Even all the younger guys are willing to chat and talk -...

Very true! And some of us just skip all those threads anyway. I think this is the only one I read part of. :)
Eduard is probably more accurate than I ever could be. My final price would have been around $100. Simply because I could not see myself giving...
