Good to hear you got your cash back.
With all the publicity the thief may never get rid of your stuff, would be sad if your collection has been destroyed by the culprit. :evil:
Customs charges seem very random - sometimes you'll get hit other times not.
Always ask the seller to declare it as a gift under $70 but be warned you would be able to claim compo if it gets lost!
Yeah its called de-valuing your collection and it can be achieved very quickly! :lol:
I've had some success removing stickers by heating up the sticker with a hairdryer and then peeling the sticker but you gotta be careful you dont fry the bubble!
