Howdy all,
it's been a few years since my last confession. Hope you're all well/keeping the divorce lawyers at bay.
I kind of dropped off the hunt a couple of years ago when I completed my loose collection - and when the baby arrived that was a bit of a distraction too.
But recently a friend with more disposable income ("more than you can imagine!")than I ever had expressed an interest in getting a collection together. He asked my advice on getting started and I sat down in front of ebay with him... and there are so few sellers on there. Well, compared to a couple of years back, anyway...
Does anyone here know anyone that's doing a decent turn of trade these days?
He's cash rich (relatively) but time poor - so he keeps getting outbid. His best bet would have been going for Buy It Now sales, but it just seems like there's so little out there?
There was a guy who used to post on here who ran an online store (or it might have been his wife - Madelaine's?) Did I read that they were packing it in? I have been out of the loop for a while. Is that Vinnels girl still trading? She was always overpriced, but had a decent level of disdain for repros, I seem to recall. I also recall some of you having a bit of a grudge...
Any suggestions gratefully received - last I heard he was considering going for one of those big bundles of crap (you know the ones - the ones that snag the noobs with a few last 17 incompletes in there, as if you'll ever complete a capeless Lando General...). Maybe I should let the fool and his money be parted...
Impatient the boy is. Teach him, I cannot.
