I got pretty good prices for them, but fracked up big time and sent 3 of them by mistake to a collector in Italy, and his one module went to a collector in the US who should have been sent the first 3. The Italian collector agreed to send them back to me, but they went mysteriously 'missing in the mail'. Then he stopped answering e-mails. I never got them back, and had to refund the purchase price of the US collector too. I lost a lot of money as well as the heart of my collection, and for a short time lost faith in the collector community.In case you're curious, the Italian collector went by the name of 'Loralon'. Anyone know him?

Even though there are very few people capable and willing to commit real crimes (no more than in other countries, generally), this minor cheating has reasonably given us a bad fame. I am proud to fall completely out of this category (Badmike should know something!).

If you go to www.usps.gov and select Italy for shipping a package, there is no option for Global Priority. I just sent a package there last Saturday, so I checked this last week.

Well, just like I predicted amonth and a hlaf ago, I wne ahead and f**ked up today and shipped the wrong 2 modules to a buyer. I tired going back to the PO shortly after I realized the mistake, but to no avail, the shipment was gone. Gad am I irritated.

With 300 auctions you were either bound to make a mistake or take forever in shipping the items out. Or both. Hopefully the buyer can re-ship it to the proper person.
