Some of that I have been able to recoup by buying new items to replace older items which in turn got sold, but still it is a lot more that I originally had planned on spending when I started back on EBay in February of 1999.

Best $2500.00 I've spent in a long time. This weekend I was able to complete the R-Series and the RPGA series. I'm going to now take a break till next January on the collecting side. Will still visit here to keep an eye on you guys.Martin
