Three years of purchases piled up 2 2

[miraclemet]

So... I lived in Europe for three years and never wanted to pay shipping and import taxes so I had all my purchases sent to my parents in the US.

Well now that we're moved back to the states I finaly took a trip to their house where the packages have been piled up.... This was the pile...

What fun it would be to open all those packages and rediscover what  you'd purchased.  How would you ever know if something wasn't sent?

Christmas time! Presents everywhere! (I buy that in a week it seems, not 3 years!)

Would be great to open them all at once. But it would suck if there were issues with any of the packages. 3 years is a bit long for a return policy.

yeah it was a bit of a leap of faith. Most of my purchases were from here on the boards, though a few were from ebay (which were more of a roll of the dice). Tracking numbers and delivery confirmations let me know that stuff arrived...

[miraclemet]

started with the envelopes...

first up a board purchases. Chicago copy as I remember from close to 3 years ago, and now these Fox romance covers seem to be heating up...

What a risk decision making.

At least, I counted 39 packages/envelopes. That is about 15 packages/letters per year.

next up an ebay purchase from a few years back. Lots of rish here a raw Ga ebay copy of Buster Crabbe 5, so hard to find I decided to risk it since (as I remember) the price was right. Packaging was subpar, but the book seemed undamaged (the upside to lower grade books)

all the pages are there, and its all attached, so we're gonna call it a win
