A nice story

Since of late there have been enough drama filled stories going on, thought I'd add some balance to the boards for a positive for a change.

 

One of the frustrating parts about being a collector in this hobby and being far away across the pacific pond, is the diffculty of being able to get the books that you would like to add to your collection.

 

Case in point, scouring my way through Ebay, seeking those books i would like to fill holes within my collections I come across a book that is an instant add on to my list (the book is nothing major, noteworthy or expensive...just a comic series i've enjoyed). I happily scroll though until i come to that one phrase that always frustrates me to no end "no international bidders at all".

"Bugger it" i say. It is hard enough not being surrounded by choice conventions and comic stores, but when you find a book that adds nicely to your collection and there is a 1000 foot wall blocking you, you feel all you can do is just beat your head against the wall in frustration (it is why i chuckle when i hear people complain about having to pay $8 in shipping for a $2 book...try paying $15-$20 for the self same book and see what your reaction is :censored: ).

 

But this story has a good side to it though, thanks to a forumite on here. He always gets lambasted, tar'd and feathered for his singular purpose of collecting a series made up of nothing but the highest quality books he can find.

 

So i have a major kudo's to MutantKeys.

 

Danny and i have dealt in the past on one or two books and i had asked of him a favour to bid on the book for me and mail it hen received. Now considering he didn't have to do it as he could have got stuck with a book and bill for a book that he had no interest in.

 

So, muchly appreciated Danny and when i finally get across your way for a convention the first couple of rounds are on me, thanks mate (thumbs u
