[quote=Sedai]Ah, like Nickleback records...[/quote]

[quote=mattiasflgrtll6]That's because they only sell them to torture someone else.[/quote]

[quote=Chypmunk]Yeah - dem online My Little Pony sellers sure can be some of the biggest buggers on the planet innit.[/quote]

[quote=cat_sidhe]Yeah I had that with a tiny etsy purchase in which they forgot to put in tge actual item, yet wrote they had on the envelope. Customs took a pic of the envelope and sent it to me with an amount to pay to release it, like some kind of ransom deal. 

When I got it, I'd paid for an empty envelope. Whoever handled my parcel on this side didn't pick up that the thing was light as a feather, therefore not containing shit. :rolleyes:[/quote]

[quote=mattiasflgrtll6]I've ordered some items from ebay, but am becoming less of a fan lately. I'm getting really sick of paying customs charges, to the point where I would rather order something intentionally more expensive so that the extra charge doesn't cause the awful delay.[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]There is a wise sage of eBay that wanders (wonders?) this forum. I must prepare the offering.[/font][/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]eBay is such a fickle mistress. *sigh* [/font][/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]I have a family member who is a card carrying (literally) fan. I usually grow my collection by an article or two a year.

Even without the guarantee, it's still better than Eddie Bauer. A&F use to be lifetime g'd , but the koo kids probably never returned stuff.[/font][/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]I'm sure there are still some monogrammed backpacks in the wild.

Thought ol' Elsie Fisher was rockin' one.[/font][/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=Yoda]My wife [i]just[/i] bought me LL Bean slippers for my birthday a week ago, as it so happens.

Not cold enough for me to tell you if they're any good. :laugh: They seem nice, though.[/quote]
My guess is they'll be amazing and will last a long time. I'm still wearing an LL Bean winter coat (that dark olive green one) I bought at least a decade ago.[/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=Joel][quote=Austruck][quote=Joel]I hope Dani8 is OK, and if she's passed on, I'd like to think she is at peace and no longer in pain.[/quote]
I have her email address and emailed her last week. Haven't heard any response yet (and it didn't bounce). Still waiting. :([/quote]

How frequent was your email correspondence with her before she disappeared from the forum?[/quote]
Not really much at all. I have her email because she backed my Indiegogo campaign, so there was a flurry of email activity then (about a year ago). Even then she wasn't a fast emailer. But still...[/quote]
