I think that I recall you making similar utterances in the past my friend LOL!

Unfortunately this pastime seems to invariably turn into a compulsion!

Now listen guys, we can't ALL stop/ reduce buying at the same time, the 'Recent Purchases' thread will become a wasteland, with tumbleweed blowing down its streets!!

agreed, the collection is slowly being shaped and honed as I want it... it's very rewarding to see.

In the light of what you say however, is there any point is attempting to spot bargains for the thread for you Irish boys, if the vendors are reluctant to have them posted across the sea?

I think it depends on what you're looking for, over the past number of years I've only come across a handful unwilling to ship to these shores. Interestingly I've never been declined from the US, only the UK.

TBH Jared it is considerably better than Royal Mail. I get CDs quicker from Korea than I do from London!

Do not stop your recommendations. One can always enquire as to whether the seller will change his mind and ship....this has happen in the past for me.
