My best e-bay find!!!!

Not only did you knock him down in price but you then told him how much it was really worth.

Even i wouldn't have gone that far.

Great finds on the Cleese & Barker, Paul

Wish I had a local shop - or even a shop within a 25 mile radius would be something

There's one in Bedford (or there used to be one at least). And there's one in Watford called Calamity Comics.

There used to be a comic and Cards shop in Bedford that I know of which sadly closed a few years ago. There is just a comic shop now, no cards.
And there was a market shop in Luton taht closed.
I might just take a trip down to Watford and take a look at calamaty.
There is also a Trek shop in St Albans I need to check out, see if they have cards.

If the Watford branch is like the Harrow one, Calamity won't have trading cards except on occasion. Cards generally don't sell for them. They will order boxes for you if they're available through Diamond - though at retail price.

The shop in St Albans is Chaos City Comics and, I believe, Dave Gibbons's local shop. I've never been there so I don't know what it's like.

FINALLY managed to get my hands on Agent Doggett's auto!!!

Or more accurately the Robert Patrick auto from X-Files Season 9 for just under £55 - the cheapest I've ever seen it. Well pleased.

Thanks Tim! Yes, very cool in all respects

I've been trying to put together an auto set of every cast member that has signed for the X-Files: no Chris Carter and no repeat signers. Having got Patrick now I just need Mitch Pileggi, Burt Reynolds & Brendan Beiser and I'm done.

Complete set of Buffy Sugar Puff Morphers (15) for about $26.

I don't know how well I did price-wise but I have been searching for these for quite awhile and it was nice to see a set offered on the 'bay.

I have no idea how well you did pricewise either, but it's always a good buy when you get something that you have had difficulty finding.
