This county has never had a listing for any Merchant tokens, so naturally I was somewhat excited to hear about them. </p><p>I contacted the gentleman who had taken them on consignment to discuss them. We were able to come to an agreement on the price, and I expect them to be here any day now.</p><p>As you can imagine, I wanted these pretty badly, and was willing to pay a strong price, but I also kept in mind how much I could afford to pay.</p><p>My wife, my bills, and my responsibilities always come before my hobby.</p><p>Well, maybe I put my hobby before mowing the grass, sometimes, but that&#039;s it.
