Thought it was time to sink all my remaining resources into small portable paper products.  :wink:

Don't worry; we're getting deep into a "collector" market, now, of the comics ilk where #1 is often worth 5 times more than #2 and #5 or 6 are given away as freebies with breakfast cereal.
And good luck spotting the logic behind that...

(Not much good that I can say 'bout such trends, tbh).

Would love to know /what/ you're eating now, btw!
Any luck with the woodgrain cleanup/resale plan? ;)

...or nearly nine times.  8O  
I am surprised too, and think that I might have gone a little overboard.  But it will be a nice part of the collection.  

What can you do?  I want prices to stay low and I know that by bidding on any ebay auction I am playing a part in that process.  But the alternative means not having as much chance of winning auctions.

Am relying upon the largesse of friends - a very nice fish dinner in Islington this evening.  Plain porridge for breakfast tomorrow though.  :)
