Look ... I gotta throw this in to the mix.
Two friends foned me after I posted my excitement.
Wanted to know if I got the prize at a good price.
Well, I did get the prize at a good price. Asked the
seller what kind of money (including shipping) is
necessary for me to make the purchase.
Was told a figure. Immediately I added fifty bux to
his figure. Seller accepted.
I got a real prize ... the seller got a good price.
If that seller is allowing me to feel joy because the seller
is making something available to me, that I really want ...
(and the item is of a very seldom seen, unusual design) ...
I Believe I Am Obligated Thru My Own Character To Send
Some Of That Joy Back --- my way of saying Thank You.
There's no magic here. It's good business practice if / when
dealing in unobtainium ... and hopefully, repeat business
is respected and hoped-for.
