Not a *shady* dealer, but I feel first a bit upset to see that french newbies are giving money to a reseller and... a bit jealous maybe ?? :oops:

PS : dÃ©solÃ© Mordenkanen si tu lis ces lignes ! Tu abuses un peu sur les Ã©pithÃ¨tes RARES... et TRES BON ETAT. Mais bon, en un sens je devrais faire comme toi. Je suis aussi frustrÃ© de mettre fait snipper quelques beaux objets que je souhaitais conserver... et de les revoir 4* plus cher ! Sans rancune j'espÃ¨re !

And a bit deceiving of being snipped by that reseller, I reckon ... and then some weeks after I discover on the french market these items more and more expensive.

well thats how most resellers do their business

you win some and you lose some, but in the end, your aim is to make some money and if someone is stupid enough to pay a LOT of money for something which you can get in many other places, well then the fault is their own if they don't / can't / won't look around and do some research.

i've done that a few times myself :oops:

good on the seller i say! wish it was me

Are we nearly there yet?

Your collection is welcome, Draco :D

And then you can visit it whenever you want, just tell me ! :wink:

Just view words more : the seller I point at is honest and accommodating, My point of view is just that it is quite deceptive how this hobby (collecting DD stuff) goes !

Well reselling is part of the game, I buy lots break up to resell. Good for me I make some $$$, good for the collector as they don't have to buy a huge lot to get just 1 item they might want; bad for the person who wants bulk stuff
